WARNING:
This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
may contain chemicals, including lead, known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands
after handling.
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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt may contact its own cord.
Cutting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty.

risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location.
Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
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
by an authorized service center.
Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least
14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged
, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
