application and limitations as well as the
specific hazards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.

3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

4. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped
with three prong plug, it should be plugged
into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an
adapter is used to accommodate a two
prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be
attached to a known ground. Never remove
the third prong.

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

6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in
damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well-lighted.

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

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use
padlocks, master switches, or remove
starter keys.

9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job

was designed.

10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry to get caught in moving
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.

12. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear
safety glasses (must comply with ANSI
Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses; they are not safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty.

13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hands and frees both hands to
operate tool.

14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing

plugging in power cord.

19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the fan
blade is accidentally contacted.

20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
ensure 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.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING

UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.

Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.

22. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not
operate tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or any medication.

23. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DICONNECTED
FROM POWER SUPPLY while motoris
being mounted, connected or reconnected.

24. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement

and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically­treated lumber.

25. Your risk from those exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles

Electrical Requirements

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.*

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A

below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding plug as illustrated in Figure A below.
A temporary adapter, which locks like the adapter as illustrated in Figures B below, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.** The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
