Safety Guidelines

BE CAREFUL. Always wear eye and ear protection along with dust masks. Avoid using bits while in loose clothing. Keep hands, body, clothing and hair away from the cutter.

Disconnect power when changing bits or making adjustments, and  always leave the power disconnected when not in use. Follow all safety recommendations of the power tool manufacturer.
