This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup, 
operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this 
document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators. 

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual 
may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation, 
electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use. 
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in 
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, 
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool 
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage 
from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

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, cement and other masonry products.
•  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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter 
out microscopic particles.
