PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

result in serious personal injury.

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelrjL, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.

ging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury

times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion must be used for appropriate conditions.

age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
