personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
3. prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting
to power source, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
8. Only use safety equipment
that has been approved by an
appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment
may not provide adequate
protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be
NIOSH-approved for the specific
hazards in the work area.
