GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted. Certain clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachlo-
ride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Wear hearing protection. Prolonged expo-
sure to high intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest pe-
riods. Vibration caused by the use of power
tools may be harmful to your hands and arms.
This tool must be used with Respiratory
Protection sufficient to block dusts includ-
ing silica from concrete cutting. N-95 rated
masks minimum or full respirator protection
for the operator and others in the work area.
Dust collection is required with a vacuum
or other suitable dust collection system for
concrete/masonry applications.
Do not use vacuum or other dust collec-
tion system when cutting metal. Sparks
from metal cutting can cause fire in the col-
lector.

chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending on how often you do this type of work.
