SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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.
■ 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 12 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.
■ Keep hands away from drilling area. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
