SAFETY SYMBOLS
3
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.
WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all safety instructions in this
manual, including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,”
“WARNING,” and “CAUTION” before using this rotary tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed in this manual may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SYMBOL SIGNAL MEANING
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates DANGER, WARNING, OR
CAUTION. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.
DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most
extreme situations. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury. Always follow the safety precautions to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

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 “NOTE,” as in the example below:
NOTE: Equipment and/or property damage may result if these instructions
are not followed.
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs
should be performed by a qualified service technician.
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 shield 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 shields.
