the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.

before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch ON invites accidents.

a rotat ing part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance en-
ables better control of the tool in unexpected situ-
ations.

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintaintoolswithcare.Keepcuttingtoolssharp

ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

that may be suitable for one tool, may become haz-
ardous when used on another tool.
