• Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply
with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions.
This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
• Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a tool is being
used, turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the tool. A
wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed.
Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
• Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
• Disconnect power from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before servicing, adjusting,
installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.

allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
