Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Additional
Rules for Safe Operation
•
Know your power tool. Read operator's
manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
•
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant
lenses;
they are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
•
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
•
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
dur-
ing extended
periods
of operation.
Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
•
Inspect tool cords periodically
and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest Factory
Service
Center or other Authorized
Service
Organiza-
tion. Constantly
stay aware of cord location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock or fire.
•
Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord
100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100
feet is not recommended.
If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
•
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
drilling.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
•
Drugs, alcohol, medication.
Do not operate tool
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
•
Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct
others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions
also.
•
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended func-
tion. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
•
Don't abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or yank it to disconnect
it from the recep-
tacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
A
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 masonry products, and
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 those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic
particles.
