safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
 Handling power cords on corded products may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash your hands after
handling.
⚠WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
 Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the creeper in confined work areas
may put you dangerously close to other cutting tools and rotating parts.
 Do not use the creeper where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite
the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
 Do not allow the creeper to come into contact with an electrical source. The creeper is not
insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.
 Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the creeper.
 Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your
work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury
and/or property damage if contacted.
⚠WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the creeper. Do not
use the creeper while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the creeper may result in serious personal injury.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
 Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust
mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
 Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
⚠CAUTION
CREEPER USE AND CARE
 Do not force the creeper. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
