MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits cutters, and
the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in the machine.
•
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.
•
NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
•
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced.
•
DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade
or cutter only.
•
NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
•
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
•
HEALTH HAZARDS. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
