Additional Safety Information
WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting 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.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
•
Do not operate blower in a gaseous or explosive
atmosphere.
Motors in these units normally spark, and
the sparks might ignite fumes.
•
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
•
Do not leave appliance when plugged in.
Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
•
Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If appliance is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
•
Never leave blower running unattended.
Turn
power off.
• Unplug before connecting the tube.
•
Store idle units.
When not in use, the unit should be
stored in a dry, high or locked-up place - out of reach
of children.
•
This appliance is provided with double insulation.
Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for
servicing of Double-insulated Appliances
.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW
or SJTW.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure B; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps
or connectors described in this manual.
OR
iii) Secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as
shown or described in the Operating Instructions.
Fig. B
• Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal
injury due to a loose electrical connection between
the appliance’s plug and extension cord, firmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord.
Periodically check the connection while operating to
ensure it is fully attached. Do not use an extension
cord that provides a loose connection. A loose
connection may result in overheating, fire, and
increases the risk of a burning.
