WARNING:
Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities may contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how often this type of work is
performed. In order to reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use
approved safety equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Electrical safety
WARNING:
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use
proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 120 V AC operation. It must be connected to a 120 V AC, 15 A circuit
that is protected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord
immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
Power tool safety
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
6
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
