Porter-Cable 725 Instruction Manual page 4

2. 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.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOLS USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. 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.
7. 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 accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
8. 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
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement 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 electric shock or injury.
