When cutting pipe or conduit
ensure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
