PERSONAL SAFETY
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 medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.

ging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
