SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Additional Rules for Safe Operation

■Know your power tool. Read operator's manual care- fully. Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

■Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Every- day eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

■Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

■Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

■Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per- forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

■Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired at your nearest authorized service center. Stay constantly aware of cord location.

■Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

■Do not abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

■Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure 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 exceed- ing 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

■Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

■Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

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, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
