WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
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:
• leadfromlead-basedpaints,
• crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandothermasonryproducts,and
• arsenicandchromiumfromchemically-treatedlumber.
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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/
OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.
WARNING: Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by
the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms.
Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means
your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on
DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz
AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause
loss of power and can result in over-heating. All Bostitch tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply.
Extension Cord
When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The following
table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
