Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing,
short pants, or jewelry of any kind. Secure long
hair so it is above shoulder level. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Protect eyes, face, and head from objects that
may be thrown from the unit. Always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating.
Wear appropriate hearing protection. Wear
respiratory protection to avoid the risk of
inhaling harmful dust.
Always keep hands and feet away from all
moving parts during operation. Moving parts
can cut or crush body parts.
Always keep hands and feet away from all
pinch points.
Do not touch parts that might be hot
from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating the machine.
Do not overreach. Do not operate the machine
while barefoot or when wearing sandals or
similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective
footwear that will protect your feet and
improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
Inspect your Machine
Check your machine before starting it. Keep
guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
Never operate the machine when it is in need
of repair or is in poor mechanical condition.
Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts
before using it. Keep the machine in safe
working condition. Regularly check to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the machine area before starting it. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in
personal injury. Avoid accidental starting.
Be sure the motor switch is off before
transporting the machine or performing any
maintenance or service on the unit.
Transporting or performing maintenance
or service on a machine with its switch on
invites accidents. If the machine should start
to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning sign of trouble.

pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator
enclosures. Make sure your fingers do not
touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging

switch is switched off when plugging the plug
into an outlet.
Only use approved and appropriately
identified extension cables for use outdoors.

Do not use the cable for purposes for which
it is not intended. Do not use the cable to pull
the plug out of the outlet. Protect the cable
from heat, oil and sharp edges.

electrician. This electric tool conforms to the
applicable safety regulations. Repairs may
only be performed by an electrician using
