General Safety Information
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials
such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medications. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating tools may result in serious personal injury.
• 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 be caught in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• 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
• 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.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
2
manufacturer for your model. Ac cessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of injury.
