• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when it’s practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits
cutters, and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in the machine.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.
• NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK 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.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• HEALTH HAZARDS. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
