ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2.
Wear eye protection and dust mask.
3.
Ventilate your work area adequately.
4.
Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
bit immediately.
5.
Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not
strike a hard surface such as the floor, work-
bench, etc.
6.
Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws
and other foreign material from the workpiece
before operation.
7.
Check that the bit is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on. Always
hold the tool with two hands while switching the
tool on. The motor torque can cause the tool to
turn.
8.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wob-
bling that could indicate improperly installed bit.
