WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemi cals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc tive 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 (CCA).

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 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 disburse 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.

POWER SUPPLY

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. A voltage decrease
of more than 10% will cause a loss of power and overheating.

CUTTING CAPACITY

The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide cutting capacity for many large pieces.
