GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE-

TY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read

and understood.

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and

possible hazards.

2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain. Keep

work areas well lit.

3. DO NOT use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are slippery

with sawdust or wax.

5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.

NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.

6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.

7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when op-

erating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS wear

non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.

8. SERVICING requires extreme care and knowledge of the tool. This should only be performed by a qualified

service technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.

9. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts,

cleaning, or working on the tool.

10. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.

11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in

the power cord.

12. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the tool before

turning it on.

13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the

tool until it has come to a complete stop.

14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store

anything above or near the tool.

15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled foot-

wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
