Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform . Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool . When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted . Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a Skil Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Skil Service Station.
WARNING
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 paints,
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated 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.
