WARNING

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, 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 filter out microscopic particles.

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 tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting 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.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with magnet-

ic 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 reconnecting.

17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN “KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward the

operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create “kickback” and know how to avoid them. Read the manual accompanying the machine thoroughly.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther 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.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20. 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.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to machine operation are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

Additional Safety Instructions For Buffers

1. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION!

2. WEAR AN APPROVED DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR. Buffing operations

produce dust.

3. MAKE SURE BUFFER IS SECURED FIRMLY TO A BENCH OR STAND BEFORE USE. Any “wobbles” must be

corrected by shimming or blocking before operation.

4. DO NOT USE GRINDING WHEELS ON THIS MACHINE. It is strictly designed for

buffing and drum sanding only.

5. DO NOT stand directly in front of buffing

or sanding accessories when turning machine on.

6. PERFORM machine inspections and

maintenance service promptly when called for.

7. DO NOT allow your hands to come into

contact with sanding drums or buffing wheels during operation. Abrasive accessories have the ability to remove a lot of material, including skin, very quickly.

8. ANY PROBLEM concerned with any

moving parts or accessories must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected, and after everything has come to a complete stop.

9. NEVER leave the machine running unat-

tended.

10. NEVER BUFF OR SAND BY PLACING THE WORKPIECE ON TOP OF THE WHEEL. The wheel may kick the work-

piece toward the operator. Always buff on the downward part of the wheel.

11. HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY WHILE BUFFING OR SANDING.
