Work Area Safety

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medications. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
3. Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.

Tool Use and Care

1. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-
plication. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
3. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
4. Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
