have repaired at your nearest Factory Service
Center or other Authorized Service Organiza-
tion. Constantly stay aware of cord location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock or fire.
•Check damaged parts. Before further use ofthe
tool, a guard or other partthat isdamaged should
becarefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform itsintended func-
tion. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
anyother conditions that mayaffect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center. Following this rule willreduce the

•Don't abuse cord. Never carrythe tool by the
cord or yank itto disconnect itfrom the recep-
tacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Following this rule willreduce the riskof
electric shock orfire.
•Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, besure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 16 is recommended for an extension cord
100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100
feet isnot recommended. Ifin doubt, use the
next heavier gage. Thesmaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. Anundersized cord willcause
a drop in linevoltage resultingin lossofpower and
overheating.
•Inspectfor and removeall nails fromlumber before
drilling. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personalinjury.

,_k WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
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, suchas those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
