GENERAL SAFETY RULES CONTINUED
MAINTENANCE:
After use, check tool to keep it in top condition.
1. Clean out accumulated dust.
2. Check the brushes periodically for wear and replace both brushes when either is worn to
about 1/3 in length.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT WHILE THE MOTOR IS IN MOTION!
WARNING
KEEP SAFETY GUARDS IN PLACE TO AVOID POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY!
Never cover, nor allow dust to accumulate in air vents since they must always be open for
proper motor cooling.
Always remove the electric cord from the power supply before changing brushes, lubricating or
when working on the unit, to avoid possible serious injury.
To assure safety and reliability all repairs with the exception of external accessible brushes
should be performed by an Authorized Service Center or other qualified Service Organization.

improperly or if operated by inexperienced persons.

tools and scraps.
a. These materials can cause dangerous chips and debris to be ejected from the saw.
b. The blade will be damaged or dulled. Teeth can be broken or bent, requiring
replacement of the blade.

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 brick, cement and other masonry product, 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.
