12.ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION. Any power
tool can throw foreign
objects into the eyes and
could cause permanent
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety
Goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1.
Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact–resistant lenses. They
ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety
Goggles are available at Sears.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
seriously injure you when they break.
13.WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST
MASK. Sawing operation produces
dust.
14.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or
a vise to hold work when
practical. It is safer than
using your hand and
it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
15.DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM
POWER SOURCE before servicing,
and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters.
16.REDUCE THE RISK OF
UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the tool in.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
17.USE RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES. Consult
this Operator’s Manual for
recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause
risk of injury to yourself or others.
18.NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
19.CHECK FOR 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.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL
RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
THE POWER “OFF”. Do not walk
away from a running tool until the
blade comes to a complete stop
and the tool is unplugged from the
power source.
21.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep
proper footing and balance at all
times.
