SAFETY
Hazard Symbols:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Never touch electrical wires or components while the motor is running. Exposed, frayed or worn
electrical motor wiring can be sources of electrical shock that could cause severe injury or burns.
ACCIDENTAL STARTS!

the "RELEASE" position to prevent accidental starting. Unplug the power tool before performing any
service operation.
ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS!

respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the
material being sawed or drilled; See OSHA (29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are
dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety
and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges, Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules,
Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain
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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
