Safety Symbols
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety
symbols and the explanations with them deserve your careful attention and understanding. The
symbol warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings
they give are no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

Manual, including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,”
“WARNING,” and “CAUTION” before using this tool. Failure to following all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re, and/or serious personal injury.
The denitions below describe the level of severity for each signal word. Please read the manual
and pay attention to these symbols.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid

Damage Prevention and Information Messages
These inform the user of important information and/or instructions that could lead to equipment
or other property damage if they are not followed. Each message is preceded by the word
“NOTICE”, as in the example below:

WARNING
The operation of any power tools can result in
foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation,
always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full
face shield when needed. We recommend a Wide Vision Safety Mask for
use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always
use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
