Additional Safety Information
WARNING:
Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
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
filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and

Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
a )
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
b )
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at
least one minute before using them. During this
time no one is to stand in front or in line with
the brush.
Loose bristles or wires will be discharged
during the run-in time.
c )
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush
away from you.
Small particles and tiny wire
fragments may be discharged at high velocity during
the use of these brushes and may become imbedded
in your skin.
d )
Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
and a full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1
MUST be worn by the operator and others that
are within 50' (15.2 m) of the use of this product.
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.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use.
Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools will stand
upright but may be easily knocked over.
•
Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool.
Using inappropriate accessories can result in injury.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
