III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS
As with all power tools, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operator and his use
of the tool. Using the tool with the respect and caution demanded, as far as safety precautions are
concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can occur.
There are also certain applications for which this tool was designed. We strongly recommend that
this tool NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed. If
you have any questions relative to its application, DO NOT use the tool until you have written us
and we have advised you.

application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged
into a three hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third
prong.

and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
