1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/
or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses. It is also highly recommended that
you wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.
5. Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.

produce vibration. The screws can come loose
easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness of screws carefully before operation.
7. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This

sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
9. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
