Safety Symbols
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers.
The safety symbols and the explanations with them deserve your careful attention
and understanding. The symbol warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any
danger. The instructions and warnings they give are no substitutes for proper
accident prevention measures.

The operation of any power tools can
result in
foreign objects being thrown
into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when
needed. We recommend a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use
over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.
Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with
