ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PERSONAL SAFETY
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
11. Avoid accidental starting.Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with the switch on invites
accidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance provide better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until
repaired.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts or
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, ask that only identical replacement parts be used.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
