Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

limitations and possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents,
5. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT,
Don't use power tools in damp locations, or expose
them to rain or snow. Keep work area welt lighted.

and safer at the rate for which itwas designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force toot or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord wilt result in a drop in line voltage
and in loss of power which will cause .the tool to
overheat. The table on page 5 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
