Additional Safety Information

WARNING: 

Never modify the power tool or any part 

of it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS 

use safety glasses. Everyday 

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust 
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED 
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•  ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•  ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•  NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

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 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.

• 

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, eyes, or lay on the skin may 
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: 

Use of this tool can generate and/

or disperse dust, which may cause serious and 
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use 
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection 
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles 
away from face and body.

WARNING:

Always wear proper personal hearing 

protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) 

during use. 

Under some conditions and duration 

of use, noise from this product may contribute to 
hearing loss.

CAUTION:

When not in use, place tool on its 

side on a stable surface where it will not cause 

a tripping or falling hazard. 

Some tools with 

large battery packs  will stand upright on the battery 
packbut may be easily knocked over.

• 

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be 

avoided.

 Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught 

in moving parts.
