the outlet. never modify the plug

in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded power tools.

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord

1.

Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on

the switch or energizing power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

dust-related hazards.

not provide adequate protection.

and breathing protection must be

NIOSH-approved for the specific
