Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the
risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
b. Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. The tool is able to create sparks
resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

to result in the loss of control of the tool.
Personal Safety

use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases risk of injury to
persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

Do not carry the tool with your finger on the switch or
