PERSONAL SAFETY

1. ALWAYS 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.

2. ALWAYS dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull

back long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. ALWAYS 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 in the "On" position invites accidents.

4. DO NOT overreach. ALWAYS keep proper footing and balance at all

times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

5. ALWAYS use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
