2. Do not force the 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.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and
must be replaced.
4. Disconnect the Power Cord 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 maintained and clean. Properly
maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use
a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
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.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unautho-
rized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

Specific safety rules

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important information.

7. Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using the approved personal safe-
ty clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
a. Wear the approved safety impact eye goggles with a welding helmet fea-
turing at least a number 10 shade lens rating.
b. Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots should be worn when using
this product. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any
clothing that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks.
c. Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents, or any flammable substances. Wear
dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing.
Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons,
d.
cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding
and cutting procedures.
e. When welding/cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame resistant
ear plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
8. Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work
area.
a. When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible;
protect the combustibles with a cover made of fire resistant material.
b. Remove or make safe all combustible materials for a radius of 35 feet (10
meters) around the work area. Use a fire resistant material to cover or
block all open doorways, windows, cracks, and other openings.
c. Enclose the work area with portable fire resistant screens. Protect com bus
tible walls, ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire resistant covers.
d. If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc., prevent ignition of combustibles on
the other side by mobbing the combustibles to a safe location. If relocation
of combustibles is not possible, designate someone to serve as a fire watch,
equipped with a fire extinguisher, during the welding process and for at least
one half hour after the welding is completed.
e. Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or
combustible internal structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an approved
method for eliminating the hazard.
Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials.
f.
g. After welding or cutting, make a thorough examination for evidence of fire.
Be aware that easily visible smoke or flame may not be present for some
time after the fire has started. Do not weld or cut in atmospheres containing
h. Dangerously reactive or flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust.
i. Provide adequate ventilation in work areas to prevent accumulation of flam-
mable gases, vapors, and dust. Do not apply heat to a container that has held
an unknown substance or a combustible material whose contents, when hea-
ted, can produce flammable or explosive vapors. Clean and purge containers
before applying heat. Vent closed containers., including castings, before prehe-
ating, welding, or cutting.
