Performax 241-0988 Operating Manual page 6

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.),
be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that
specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user – as well as
damage to the tool.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which is designed.
Do not use the tool if the 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 before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 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. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
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.
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.
Do not alter or misuse tool. These tools are precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.
