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 opera- tion is unavoidable in damp locations. Avoid touching grounded surfaces when operating tool.

WEaring PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control. Wear hard hat as needed.

HAzardous DUST. Dust created while using tools may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, always wear

aNIOSH-approved respirator, and con- nect tool to an appropriate dust collection device to reduce your risk.

Hearing PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

RemovE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in or on tool—especially near moving parts. Verify removal before starting!

Intended USAGE. Only use tool for its intended purpose. Never modify or alter tool for a purpose not intended by the manufacturer or serious injury or death may result!

AWKWArd POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating tool. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make tool control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

ChecK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect tool for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating tool.

Maintain POWEr CORDS. When dis- connecting cord-connected tools from power, grab and pull the plug—Not the cord. Carrying or pulling the cord may damage wires inside. Do not handle cord/ plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, sharp edges, moving parts, and wet/damp loca- tions. Damaged cords increase risk of electrocution.
