inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
Keep this product and all other tools and equipment away from children and other
unauthorized people. Do not allow spectators in the work area.
Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on variations in
local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job
better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool, and do not
use this tool for a purpose for which it is not intended.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. 24. Electromagnetic fields
in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker
failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Don't use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should
also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

VIBRATION HAZARD

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being
caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration
occurs, stop use immediately.
