SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING ICONS
Your power tool and its Instruction Manual may contain “WARNING ICONS” (a picture
symbol intended to alert you to and/or instruct you how to avoid a potentially hazardous
condition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will help you operate your tool
better and safer. Shown below are some of the symbols you may see.
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 those dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical hazards, re hazards,
or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Use a separate electrical
circuit for your tool. Your tool is wired at
the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to
a 120 V, 1.2 Amp circuit and use a 1.2 Amp
time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid
shock or re, if power cord is worn, cut,
or damaged in any way, have it replaced
immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric currents and
reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electrical cord that has
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not t the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualied electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green
insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is
the equipment grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electrical cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or service
person if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not
certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have
three-pronged grounding plugs with threepole receptacles that accept the tool’s
plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn
cords immediately.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool.
This circuit must not be less than #18 wire
and should be protected with a 1.2 Amp time
lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the off
position and the electric current is rated the
same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Use an extension cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power, overheating and burning out of the
motor. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualied technician before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet
areas.
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
