,_kWARNING
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, 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. 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.

and knowing how to use your power tool.
WARNING i
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury,
do not plug the tool in until you have read and
understood the following.
Read all instructions before operating product.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
. READ and become familiar with the entire
Instruction Manual. LEARN the tool's
application, limitations and possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and inworking order.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will result in a drop in line
voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table on page 8 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
12.
O LWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
Any power tool can throw foreign objects
into the eyes and could cause permanent
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not
glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they
break.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. 13.
Do not use power tools in damp locations, or expose

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
INTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that
has an equipment grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
iMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
table above shows the correct size to use according to
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and
in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
CHECK with a quail ed electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
[a,WARNINGI
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is
rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and
receptacle that has agrounding conductor. If a properly
grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter
(FIGURE B) can be used to temporarily connect this
plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter
(FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY
ADAPTER SHOULD BE USED ONLY UNTIL A
PROPER GROUNDED OUTLET CAN BE INSTALLED
BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded, If you are not sure, have
a certified electrician check the receptacle,
