SAVE THESE INSTRuCTIONS

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
OBSERVE WORK AREA CONDITIONS. Do not use machines or power tools in damp,
wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use elec-
trically powered tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for
which it was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the
tool’s capacities.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attach-
ment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
USE EYE AND EAR PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved chemical splash gog-
gles when working with chemicals. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles
at other times. Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal lings or wood chips.
Wear and ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood,
and chemical dusts and mists.
DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Do not yank it to disconnect it from the recep-
tacle. Do not carry tools by the cord.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over
or across running machines.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords c
and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handles must be
kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
