GENERAL SAFETY RULES, cont.
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING
THE TOOL. Learn the machine’s application, limitations and the specific
hazards particular to it.
2. ALWAYS USE A FULL FACE SHIELD. Strongly recommended. (Must
comply with ANSI STANDARD Z87.1 -USA) Everyday eye-glasses usually
are only impact resistant and safety glasses only protect eyes. A full face
shield will protect the eyes and face. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-
slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
4. USE EAR PROTECTORS. Use ear plugs or muffs for any period of
operation. Use muffs rated to 103 DBA LEQ (8 hour).
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in
damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

removing starter/lockout keys.
9. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it
should be plugged into a three hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be
attached to a known ground. NEVER remove the third or grounding prong.
10. DISCONNECT TOOLS. Ensure the plug is removed from the wall socket
before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits,
cutters and fuses, etc.

before plugging in power cord into the wall socket.

which it was not designed.
