GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the
warnings refers to your line-
operated (corded) power tool.
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate power tools in b.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders c.
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
CAUTION, used
with the safety
alert symbol, indicates a
hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match the a.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Page 2SKU 97750 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain c.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord (34). d.
Never use the Cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep Cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled Cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool out-e.
doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp f.
location is unavoidable, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
mask/respirator. Safety equipment
such as non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. c.
Ensure the Power Switch (33) is in
the off-position before connecting
to the power source, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the Power
Switch or energizing power tools that
have the Power Switch on invites ac-
cidents.
Remove any adjusting key or d.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper e.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Personal safety3.

ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Always b.
wear ANSI-approved safety impact
goggles and NIOSH-approved dust
Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Use a.
the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.

Power Switch (33) does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the Power
Switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

Disconnect the Power Cord (34) c.
from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power

reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

its accessories is a common reason
for the Spray Gun to jam or not perform properly.
Use the power tool, accessories g.
and tool bits etc. in accordance

account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.

• 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.

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 or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally 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 lter out microscopic
particles. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
