GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes or boots, sturdy gloves,
durable long pants and durable long
sleeve shirt, [and hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions] will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the trigger switches are in the
off-position before connecting the
Power Cell to the power tool, and
never pick up or carry the tool by the
trigger switches. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjustment key or
wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings – Power tool use and
care
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and
safer when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not use a power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled using the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Remove the Power Cell before making
any adjustments, replacing or repairing
parts, cleaning the tool, leaving the tool
idle or unattended, transporting or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool and accessories
in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
