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 use safety glasses.  Everyday eye glasses are NOT safety glasses.  Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

Extension Cords

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.

Volts			Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
			0-25	Total Length of Cord in Feet
120V				26-50	51-100	101-150
240V			(0-7,6m)	(7,6-15,2m) (15,2-30,4m) (30,4-45,7m)
			0-50	51-100	101-200	201-300
Ampere Rating			(0-15,2m) (15,2-30,4m) (30,4-60,9m) (60,9-91,4m)
