Do not operate tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of 
inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed 
will reduce the risk of personal injury.

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

 

Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable 
you retain control over the tool in unexpected situations.
