Personal Safety; Power Tool Use And Care - Craftsman evolv 320.17088 Operator's Manual

PERSONAL SAFETY
= Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
= 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.
= Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting
the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
= Remove any adjusting key 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.
= Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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 is designed.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before marking any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tools operation, if damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
