AddITIONAL SAFETY INFORmATION
• Do not use Type 1 flat cut-off abrasive or diamond wheels without proper guard.
WARNINg:
Always wear proper personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of
use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNINg:
ALWAyS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
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 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.
• 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 disperse 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.
WARNINg:
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused
by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and
arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time
of use.
WARNINg:
When not in use, place grinder on a stable surface where it will
not move inadvertently, roll or cause a tripping or falling hazard. The grinder may
stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over. Serious personal
injury may result.
WARNINg:
The grinding wheel or accessory may loosen during coast-down of
the tool when shut off. If grinding wheel or accessory loosens, it may dismount from the
machine and may cause serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use extra care when working
into a corner or edge because a sudden, sharp movement of the tool may be
experienced when the wheel or other accessory contacts a secondary surface or a
surface edge.
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
