GASOLINE/PROPANE POWERED EQUIPMENT

• Engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm.

• Gasoline is extremely flammable and poisonous.
It should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas,
and with a cool engine.

• Small gasoline engines produce high concentrations of car­ bon monoxide (CO) example: a 5 HP 4 cycle engine operation
in an enclosed 100,000 cu. ft. area with only one change of air
per hour is capable of providing deadly concentrations of CO
in less than fifteen minutes. Five changes of air in the same
area will produce noxious fumes in less than 30 minutes.
Gasoline or propane powered equipment should not be used
in enclosed or partially enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poi­ soning include, headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness,
visual problems and loss of consciousness. If symptoms oc­ cur - get into fresh air and seek medical attention immediately.

ELECTRICAL POWERED EQUIPMENT

Extreme care must be taken when operating electric
models with water present: Ensure power cord is prop­erly grounded, is attached to a Ground-Fault-Interrupter
(GFI) outlet, and is undamaged.

• Check all electrical cables - be sure connections are tight and
cable is continuous and in good condition. Be sure cable is

correctly rated for both the operating current and voltage of this
equipment.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with qualified electri-

cian or service person if there is any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Adhere to all local codes and ordi-

nances.

•NOTE: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to

dissipate. The motor is equipped with a grounded plug and
must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and
properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided on the
motor. If the plug does not fit the outlet have a qualified electri­cian install the proper receptacle.

• Switch motor OFF before disconnecting power.

• Do not disconnect power by pulling cord. To disconnect, grasp

the plug, not the cord.

• Unplug power cord at the machine when not in use and before
servicing.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Equipment should only be operated by trained personnel in

good physical condition and mental health (not fatigued). The
operator and maintenance personnel must be physically able
to handle the bulk weight and power of this equipment.

• This is a one person tool. Maintain a safe operating distance to
other personnel. It is the operators’ responsibility to keep
other people (workers, pedestrians, bystanders, etc.) away
during operation. Block off the work area in all directions with
roping, safety netting, etc. for a safe distance. Failure to do so
may result in others being injured by flying debris or exposing
them to harmful dust and noise.

• This equipment is intended for commercial use only.

• For the operator’s safety and the safety of others, always keep

all guards in place during operation.

• Never let equipment run unattended.

• Personal Protection Equipment and proper safety attire must

be worn when operating this machinery. The operator must
wear approved safety equipment appropriate for the job such
as hard hat and safety shoes when conditions require. Hear­ing protection MUST be used (operational noise levels of this
equipment may exceed 90db). Eye protection MUST be worn at
all times.

Keep body parts and loose clothing away from moving
parts. Failure to do so could result in dismemberment
or death.

• Do not modify the machine.

• Stop motor/engine when adjusting or servicing this equipment.

Maintain a safe operating distance from flammable
materials. Sparks from the cutting-action of this ma­chine can ignite flammable materials or vapors.

DUST WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc­tion activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-

tive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints, and

• Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete

and other

masonry products.

Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies
depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your risk: work in a well ventilated area, use a dust control
system, such as an industrial-style vacuum, and wear ap­proved personal safety equipment, such as a dust/particle
respirator designed to filter out microscopic particles.
