RISK OF INJURY (continued)
WHAT COULD HAPPEN | HOW TO PREVENT IT |
•Improperly maintained tools and accessories can cause serious injury.
•Maintain the tool with care.
•Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.
• There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
•Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Use only accessories identified by the manufacturer to be used with specific tools.
•Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons.
HAZARD
RISK OF ELETRIC SHOCK
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
