instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced before use.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove
starter keys.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that could affect
your ability to use the tool properly.

safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environment. Use ear
protection, such as plugs or muffs, during extended periods of operation.
