Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. 
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf-
ficient to inflict serious injury.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side 
shields  when  operating  power  tools.  Failure  to  do  so 
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes re-
sulting in possible serious injury.

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-
mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
tachments or accessories not recommended can result 
in serious personal injury.

failure, turn the switch 

OFF ( O ) and remove the key. This
