29. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before

using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a

heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

30. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of Califor-

nia) 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 or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium fromchemically

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.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

31. WARNING! The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this

manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The

operator must understand that common sense and caution are factors which

cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the

outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with

the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by

a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong

grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If

the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low

resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of elec-

tric shock. (See Figure A.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the

cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the

only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached

to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
