Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.
Never stand on a tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and 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 equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
