DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect tool
from power supply BEFORE making adjustments,
changing tooling, or servicing machine. This
prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY. Tool plug must match outlet.
Double-insulated tools have a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other), which
must be plugged into a polarized outlet.
Never modify plug. Do not use adapter for
grounded tools. Use a ground fault circuit
interrupter if operation is unavoidable in damp
locations. Avoid touching grounded surfaces
when operating tool.
