presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite

 Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the sharpener.
⚠WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the sharpener. Do
not use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the sharpener 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 ANSIZ87.1 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
SHARPENER USE AND CARE
 Do not force the sharpener. Products do a better job and are safer when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
 Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the sharpener will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never
operate the sharpener with a damaged part.
 Store the sharpener when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of
children. Inspect the sharpener for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your sharpener.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than
the tool itself.
 Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the unit without the guards in place.
