NING: 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. WARNING: The plastic on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WORK AREA
·
Keep your work area clean and well lit.Cluttered work benches and dark work areas may cause accidents or injury.
·
Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
·
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinan-
ces. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Always unplug tool from the electrical receptacle before making adjustments, changing parts, or performing any main-
tenance.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Unplug.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
