WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the instructions
and precautions before operating tool.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other mason-
ry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, 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. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures as
defined in this manual even if you are familiar with use of this

fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.

neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
