CALIFORNIA PROP 65

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and

other constuction 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 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 with approved

safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a

power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the

work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or

shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug. This

power plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way. Double Insulation eliminates the

need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power

supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Handle the cord carefully. Never use the cord to carry the tools or

pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use outdoor extensions cord

marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and

reduce the risk of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PERSONAL SAFETY

▪Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

non- skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be

used for appropriate conditions.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

▪Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work

piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

▪Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The

correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is

designed.

▪Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

▪Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool

accidentally.

▪Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained

users. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

▪Maintain tools with care. Keep accessories sharp and clean.

Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag

damaged tools “Do Not Use” until repaired.

▪Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

▪Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer

for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may

become hazardous when used on another tool.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

▪Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery

pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the

switch on may cause an accident.

▪Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A

charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a

risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

▪Use power tools only with specifically designed battery packs. Use

of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury or fire.

▪When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal

objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small

metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to

another. Shorting the terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

a. Do not use the tool in wet or damp conditions.

b. Always keep the work area free of tripping hazards.

c. When using the tool, always ensure you are wearing protective
