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:
• leadfromlead-basedpaints,
• crystallinesilicafrombricksandcement
and other masonry products, and 
• arsenicandchromiumfrom
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.
• 
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.
