Black & Decker CS1015 Label on your tool may include, Definitions are as follows, Volts, Amperes

Always be sure of position of your hands relative to the blade.

•Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.

•Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding- type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is

16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. 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.

		Minimum Gage for Cord Sets
Volts		Total Length of Cord in Feet
120V		0-25	26-50	51-100	101-150
		(0-7,6m) (7,6-15,2m)		(15,2-30,4m) (30,4-45,7m)

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Serious personal injury may result.

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 proper eye

protection. All users and bystanders must wear proper eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.

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 respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known in 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 (CCA).

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 disburse 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.
	Always operate tool in well-ventilated area
	and provide for proper dust removal. Use
	dust collection system wherever possible.
