Safety Instructions For All Tools
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power
tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Avoid chemical or corrosive environment. Do not
use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended —
for example — do not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or
logs.

can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
