12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION. Any power
tool can throw foreign
objects into the eyes and could
cause permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not
glasses) that comply with ANSI
Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact–
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT
safety glasses. Safety Goggles are
available at Sears. NOTE: Glasses
or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure
you when they break.
WEAR A FACE MASK
13.
OR DUST MASK. Sawing
operation produces dust.
SECURE WORK. Use
14.
clamps or a vice to hold
work when practical. It is
safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM
POWER SOURCE before servicing,
and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF
UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the tool in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES. Consult
this Operator's Manual for
recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to yourself
or others.
18. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function – check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL
RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
THE POWER "OFF". Do not walk
away from a running tool until the
blade comes to a complete stop
and the tool is unplugged from the
power source.
21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep
proper footing and balance at all
times. NEVER reach across the
path of the cutting blade while tool
is in operation.
