Additional Safety Information
• Do not use Type 1 flat abrasive or diamond wheels without proper Type 1 guard.
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if 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: 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 eye protection.
All users and bystanders must wear eye
protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
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.
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.
SYMBOLS
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitions are as follows:
V..................volts
A ..................amperes
Hz................hertz
W..................watts

per minute
• 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
