PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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 distraction while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain 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. 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 on invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. If a small item is being waxed, use clamps or another 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 lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct bonnet for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Poorly maintained tools cause many accidents.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
