Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment, such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection, when used for appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.

Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging the tool into an electrical outlet. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the power switch "ON" invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

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.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses may have

impact-resistant lenses, but they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious person injury.
