your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

hardhat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
15.Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may to loss of
control.
16.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.
17.Do not use tool if switch does not turn on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
18.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustment,
changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Poorly maintained tools cause many accidents.
