■ Read all safety instructions before using
Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its applications
and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards.
■ Ground all tools (unless double insulated)
If tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle, the green conductor in the

flammable liquids, or combustibles.

DO NOT operate any tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry,
as these items can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear. Tie back
long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
■ Avoid accidental starting
Make sure all switches are in "OFF" position before
plugging in.
■ Never stand on tool
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted. DO NOT store
materials above or near the tool, making it necessary to
stand on the tool to reach them.
