1. OPERATOR SAFETY

maintenance.
c) Use safety equipment. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving

personal injury.

your finger on the switch or inserting the
battery pack into a tool with the switch "ON"
invites accidents. Do not use a tool if the
power switch does not turn it "ON" of "OFF".
