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 and cement and other masonry products,
and 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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring. Extension
cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a
voltage drop over the extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the possibility of causing damage to the motor . Using extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without a reflective

within the applicable warranty period, with a written request by purchaser that
Alltrade repair and/or replace the nonconforming item and/or part. We recommend
that you keep the original product packaging in the event you need to ship the unit.
We suggest the package be insured against loss or in transit damage. When
sending your product include your name, address, phone number, dated proof
of purchase (or copy), and a statement about the nature of problem. Warranty
coverage is conditioned upon purchaser furnishing Alltrade with adequate written
proof that they are the original purchaser and of the original purchase date. Parts
returned, freight prepaid and insured, to Alltrade’s facility (see above address) will
be inspected and, at Alltrade’s option, repaired and/or replaced free of charge if
found to be defective and subject to warranty. Alltrade retains the sole discretion
to determine whether any item or part is nonconforming and, if so, whether the
item and/or part will be repaired and/or replaced. If the unit is repaired, new or
reconditioned replacement parts may be used. If Alltrade chooses to replace
the product, it may replace it with a new or reconditioned one of the same or
comparable design. The repaired or replaced unit will be warranted under the terms
of the remainder of the warranty period. Typically, a defective product that is
returned within the first 30 days after the purchase date will be replaced; for items
returned after the first 30 days and within the warranty period, covered defective
parts not subject to normal wear and tear or other exclusions will be repaired or
replaced, at Alltrade’s option. During the warranty period, Alltrade will be responsible for the return shipping charges. Alltrade’s repair and/or replacement of any nonconforming item and/or part thereof shall constitute fulfillment of all
obligations to the purchaser. Alltrade shall not be responsible or liable for any
expense, including freight charges, or repairs made outside Alltrade’s facility, unless
expressly agreed to by Alltrade in writing. Under no circumstances shall Alltrade
bear any responsibility for loss of the unit, loss of time or rental, inconvenience,
commercial loss or consequential damages.
