EYE, EAR & LUNG PROTECTION

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

!

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA
REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1

FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription
eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.

WARNING: Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if

broken during operation of a power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

WARNING: Use hearing protection, particularly during extended
periods of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.

!

WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.

WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects. or other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:

Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety
equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety

warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. 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 increase the
risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord type 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
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Use of a

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
