balance at all times. Be certain any ladders being used are sturdy, stable, on a
firm surface and erected at safe working angles.
4. Avoid power lines.

Some dust, peelings, residue, and vapors caused by paint removal activities contain
chemicals known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm. An example of a chemical would be lead from lead-based paints (do not use a
heat tool to remove lead-based paint). Your risk from exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is installed properly and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green
grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the grounding wire and must be
connected to grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is grounded properly. Do
not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter
illustrated in sketch B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as
shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
