PERSONAL SAFETY
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 MEDICATION. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
DRESS PROPERLY. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY. CONTAIN
LONG HAIR. KEEP YOUR HAIR, CLOTHING AND GLOVES AWAY FROM MOVING
PARTS. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
DO NOT OVERREACH. KEEP PROPER FOOTING AND BALANCE AT ALL TIMES.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES. Dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or ear plugs must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL WAY TO SECURE AND SUPPORT THE
WORKPIECE TO A STABLE PLATFORM. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
DO NOT FORCE TOOL. USE THE CORRECT TOOL FOR YOUR APPLICATION.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON OR OFF. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS, CHANGING ACCESSORIES, OR STORING THE TOOL. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
STORE IDLE TOOLS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND OTHER UNTRAINED
PERSONS. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. KEEP CUTTING TOOLS SHARP AND CLEAN.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
CHECK FOR MISALIGNMENT OR BINDING OF MOVING PARTS, BREAKAGE OF
PARTS, AND ANY OTHER CONDITION THAT MAY AFFECT THE TOOL'S OPERA-
TION. IF DAMAGED, HAVE THE TOOL SERVICED BY A JOHN DEERE AUTHO-
RIZED SERVICE CENTER BEFORE USING. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
USE ONLY ACCESSORIES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFAC-
TURER FOR YOUR MODEL. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used with another tool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. HOLD TOOLS BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING
AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY CONTACT HIDDEN
WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. ALWAYS wear ear plugs when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
3. NEVER touch the tool bit with bare hands after operation.
4. NEVER wear gloves made of material liable to roll up such as cotton, wool, cloth
or string, etc
