POWER TOOL SAFETY AND USE
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Before use, check for damaged or defective parts. Do not use the tool if any part
is damaged or defective. Carefully check the tool for damage. Check for breakage
of parts, damage to guards, switches, misalignment and seizure of moving parts, or
any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Ensure that the tool will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Have any damaged or defective
parts repaired or replaced by an authorized repair agent. Never attempt to do any
repairs yourself. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool “ON”.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Some dust created by grinding, drilling, sawing, sanding, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to 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.
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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical
