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 certied safety
equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NOSH/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 lter 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.
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
min ..............minutes ................alternating current
............direct current no ..................no load speed
................Class I Construction ..................earthing terminal
(grounded) ................safety alert symbol
................Class II Construction .../min or rpm...revolutions or
(double insulated) reciprocation per minute
............Read instruction manual before use ............... Use proper respiratory protection
................Use proper eye protection ..................Use proper hearing protection
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.
