Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust contains chemicals known
to State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
compounds in fertilizers,
•
compounds in insecticides, herbicides
and pesticides,
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear
approved safety equipment such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
•
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or
disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
