IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury, including the following:
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.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Porter-Cable
strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used for any
application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions
relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written Porter-
Cable and we have advised you.

POLARIZED PLUGS: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain.
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep area well lit. Avoid
chemical or corrosive environment. Do not use tool in presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and
high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.
6. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
7. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended – for example – do
not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
