•CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using a tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine if it operates properly and performs its
intended function. Check for alignment, binding of moving parts, any broken parts or
mounting fixtures, or any other condition that may affect its performance. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified service provider.
•REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only authentic
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from the distributor.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR
MEDICATION. Read the warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment
or reflexes are impaired while taking a specific medication. If there is any doubt, do not
operate the tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not
use a tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

•Dress properly. Do not wear loose-fitting 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.Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust
mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all people in the work area. Wear non-skid
safety shoes, a hardhat, gloves and hearing protection when appropriate.
