General Safety Information
Warning: For your own safety, read all of the instructions and precautions before operating tool.
Caution: Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual — even if you
are familiar with use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of
a second can result in severe personal injury.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created by using power tools 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.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety
equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting facemasks or respirators
when using such tools.
Be Prepared for Job
1. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry that may get caught in moving parts of machine.
2. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
4. Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
5. Wear facemask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
6. Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated or when taking
medications that cause drowsiness.
Prepared Work Area for Job
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and workbenches invite accidents.
2. Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose power tools to rain.
3. Work area should be properly lit.
4. A proper electrical outlet should be available for the tool. Three-prong plugs should be
plugged directly into properly grounded, three-prong receptacles.
5. Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three wires of the extension cord
should be at the correct gauge.
6. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
7. Keep children out of workplace and childproof the workshop. Use padlocks, master switches,
and switch key removal to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.

Tool Should Be Maintained
1. Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
2. Consult manual for specific maintenance and adjustment procedures.
3. Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
4. Remove adjusting tools. Form habits of checking to see that adjusting tools are removed
before switching the machine on.
5. Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the guard or other parts will operate
properly and perform their intended function.
6. Check for damaged parts. Check for binding, breakage, mounting, misalignment of moving
parts, or any other condition that may affect a tool’s operation.
7. A guard or other damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs (use the parts list provided to order repair parts).
Know How to Use Tool
1. Use the tool for right job. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
2. Disconnect the tool when removing filter or collector bags.
3. Avoid accidental startups. Make sure that tool switch is in the off position before plugging in.
4. Do not force the tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed.
5. Leave hands free to operate machine. Protect hands from possible injury.
6. Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave until the tool
comes to a complete stop.
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
8. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips over.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Know your tool. Understand the tool’s operation, application, and limitations.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Grounding instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord that has 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 licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
The conductor with the green insulation (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.
5"
"
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you
do not completely understand the grounding instructions or
whether the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have
three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool's plug as
shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp
locations.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one 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 and overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed 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.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
