WORK AREA SAFETY
= KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.

or wet locations or expose them to rain. Don't operate power tools in potentially
explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
,, KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe
distance away from the work area.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed.

removing starter keys.
