SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Additional Safety Rules
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rub-
ber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal
safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply.
While the tool may appear to work, the electrical compo-
nents of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any
portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improp-
erly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, car-
bon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive 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.
