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 Metalworking Tools

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 reconnecting.

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 MACHINE RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO

NOT leave machine until it comes to a com­plete stop.

19. SOME COOLANTS USED FOR MACHIN­ING MAY CONTAIN HAZARDOUS CHEMI­CALS. Read and understand all user infor-

mation on the coolant container and protect
yourself accordingly.

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.

No list of safety guidelines can be com­plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip­ment or poor work results.
