GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
The operation of any
power tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning
power-tool operation, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields
and a full-face shield, when needed. We
recommend using a wide vision safety mask
over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
with shields. Always use eye protection
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING:
This product may
contain chemicals, including lead, known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
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:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending upon how often you do this type
of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment,
such as 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 or eyes or to lie on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
DANGER:
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should
consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment
in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference or failure of the
pacemaker.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS PRODUCT!
WARNING:
To reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:
• Know your power fan. Read the
instruction manual carefully. Learn the
fan’s applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to

in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct appliance for your application. The
correct appliance will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the appliance if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any appliance
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
