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.
SECTION 1: SAFETY
Safety Instructions for Power Tools
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and under-
stand this owner’s manual BEFORE using
machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained
operators have a higher risk of being hur t
or killed. Only allow trained/supervised
people to use this power tool. When tool
is not being used, disconnect power, and
store in out-of-reach location to prevent
unauthorized use—especially around
children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not
use tools in areas that are wet, cluttered,
or have poor lighting. Operating tools in
these areas greatly increases risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full
mental alertness is required for safe operation of power tools. Never operate under
the influence of drugs or alcohol, when
tired, or when distracted.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always
disconnect tool from power supply
BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This
prevents an injury risk from unintended
startup or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSIapproved safety glasses or a face shield
when operating or observing machinery to
reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness
from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses
are not approved safety glasses.

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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY. Tool plug must
in good work-
If at
match outlet. Double-insulated tools have
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), which must be plugged into a
polarized outlet. Never modify plug. Do
not use adapter for grounded tools. Use
a ground fault circuit interrupter if operation is unavoidable in damp locations.
Avoid touching grounded surfaces when
operating tool.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that
can become entangled in moving parts.
Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear
non-slip footwear to avoid accidental
slips, which could cause loss of workpiece
control. Wear hard hat as needed.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while
using tools may cause cancer, birth
defects, or long-term respiratory damage.
Be aware of dust hazards associated with
each workpiece material, always wear
a NIOSH-approved respirator, and connect tool to an appropriate dust collection
device to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear
hearing protection when operating or
observing loud machinery. Extended
exposure to this noise without hearing
protection can cause permanent hearing
loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never
leave adjustment tools, chuck keys,
wrenches, etc. in or on tool—especially
near moving parts. Verify removal before
starting!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use tool for its
intended purpose. Never modify or alter
tool for a purpose not intended by the
manufacturer or serious injury or death
may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when
operating tool. Do not overreach! Avoid
awkward hand positions that make tool
control difficult or increase the risk of
accidental injury.
SAFE HANDLING. Firmly grip tool. To
avoid accidental firing, do not keep finger
on switch or trigger while carrying.
FORCING TOOLS. Use right tool for job,
and do not force it. It will do job safer and
better at rate for which it was designed.
SECURING WORKPIECE. When
required, use clamps or vises to secure
workpiece. This protects hands and frees
both of them to operate tool.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Ensure they
are properly installed, undamaged, and
working correctly.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance
from the work area. Stop using tool if they
become a distraction.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult this manual or manufacturer
for recommended accessories. Using
improper accessories will increase risk of
serious injury.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Keep cutting
tool edges sharp and clean. Follow all
maintenance instructions and lubrication
schedules to keep tool
ing condition. A tool that is improperly
maintained could malfunction, leading to
serious personal injury or death. Only
have tool serviced by qualified servicepersonnel using matching replacement
parts.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly
inspect tool for any condition that may
affect safe operation. Immediately repair
or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts
before operating tool.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected tools from
power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the
cord. Carrying or pulling the cord may
damage wires inside. Do not handle cord/
plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage
by keeping it away from heated surfaces,
high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, sharp
edges, moving parts, and wet/damp locations. Damaged cords increase risk of
electrocution.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never
leave tool running while unattended. Turn
tool OFF and ensure all moving parts
completely stop before walking away.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES.
any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Contact our Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663.
