WARNING
For your own safety, read and understand all warnings
and operating instructions before using any tool or
equipment.
WARNING
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 and 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. Always wear OSHA/
NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator
when using such tools.
WARNING
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in
this manual even if you are familiar with the use of this or
similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a
fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.
WORK PREPARATION

neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts of the tool.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.

when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that
cause drowsiness.

shop is child-proof. Use padlocks, master switches or
remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of
power tools.

adjusting procedures.

their intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any
other condition that may affect tool's operation.
• A guard or any other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs.
TOOL OPERATION
