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

4.Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved eye protection and dust mask and heavy-duty work gloves. Nonskid or steel-toe safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Always wear ANSI- approved safety goggles and a dust mask/respirator when using or performing maintenance on this tool.

Tool Use And Care

1.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not force the tool and do not use the tool for a purpose for which it is not intended.

2.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

3.Maintain tools with care. Keep blade and striker plate sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

4.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
