n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
n Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
n Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
n Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used
on another tool.

n Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-
pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
n When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

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 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 filter out microscopic particles.
