WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, buffing, 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, cement, and other masonry products.

• 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 fil ter out microscopic particles.

Manual Before Operating This Equipment

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

proper operation of the equipment.

Safety Instructions for Power Tools

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working

order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4. NEVER USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use power tools

in damp or wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7. NEVER FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. DO NOT force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

Safety Instructions for Power Tools

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or control panel faceplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result ing in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair cov ering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE A SAFETY FACE SHIELD.

Also use a respirator. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses, and paper dust masks are not respirators.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold a small workpiece work when practical.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL

STARTING. On machines with magnetic

contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure

switch is in OFF position before reconnect ing.

17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO

NOT leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running a machine.

20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any instruc-

tions you give in regards to machine opera tion are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools clean and in adjustment for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for changing accessories and lubricating.

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
