7. This tool can cause hearing damage. Wear hearing protection gear with an appropriate Noise Reduction Rating to withstand the decibel levels.

8. Wear a hard hat to protect your head from falling objects.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or damage to the tool.

1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.

2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.

3. Do not overreach when operating the tool. Proper footing and balance enables better control in unexpected situations.

4. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body may lead to personal injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.

1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing parts/accessories or when not in use.

2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.

3. Do not expose tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will prevent an accidental startup when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.

5. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may be compromised if altered.

6. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see Specifications).

7. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and

Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).

8. A polarized plug has two blades of different widths, allowing only one way to insert the plug into the outlet. If the outlet does not accept a polarized plug, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug, as this may compromise the built-in safety feature.

WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRIC POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not use a power tool with a broken or inoperative trigger/power switch or safety guard.

2. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the tool to the power supply.

3. Do not place the tool down until the bit has stopped moving.

The bit may catch the surface of work material and wrench itself free, causing injury to the user or others in the work area.

4. Never use a tool with a cracked or worn bit. Change the bit before using.

5. Always use both hands when operating the tool, unless the tool is designed for single hand use.

6. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where it may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ‘live’ wire will electrify exposed metal parts and shock the operator.

7. Before using the tool on a workpiece, test the tool by running it at the highest no-load speed for at least 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if there is any abnormal vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation of the bit. Check the tool to determine the cause.

8. Do not allow the tool's motor to overload and/or overheat by taking work breaks.

9. When the tool is in operation, keep hands away from the bit and the area it is being applied to.

10. Do not allow persons who are not familiar with the tool or have not read these instructions to use the tool.
