power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye dam-

always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full

marked to comply wtih ANSI Z87.1.
Also, use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty, and ear protectors
(plugs or muffs) during extended peri-
ods of operation.
