SAFETY

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may increase

the risk of personal or by-stander injury.

Serious injury could occur if a power tool is tipped, or if a cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

Before using a power tool, check for damaged parts. A guard or any other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine it would operate properly and perform its intended function. Always

check moving parts for proper alignment or binding. Check for broken parts and mountings and all other

conditions that may affect the operation of the power tool. A guard, or any damaged part, should be

properly repaired or replaced.

ALWAYS feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation. A blade or cutter should

always be installed such that rotation is in the direction of the arrow imprinted on the side of the blade

or cutter.

TURN POWER OFF - Do not leave a tool until it comes to a complete stop. Always turn a power tool

OFF when leaving the work area, or, when a cut is finished.

WARNING

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

For further information, consult the following sources:

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.
