SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1.ALWAYS USE PROPER GUARD WITH GRINDING WHEEL. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments.

2.ACCESSORIES MUST BE RATED FOR AT LEAST THE SPEED RECOMMENDED ON THE TOOL WARNING LABEL. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

3.HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

4.ALWAYS USE AN APPROVED GUARD with those accessories that require a guard (see ACCESSORIES Section of this manual).

5.USE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in the fine dust created while sanding. NOTE: Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.
