Additional Safety Warnings

NOTE:

 The rated no load tool speed is printed on the name plate.

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 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 (CCA).

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 disburse 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 use eye protection. 

All users and bystanders must wear eye 

protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.

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: 

Use extra care when working into a corner because a sudden, sharp 

movement of the grinder may be experienced when the wheel or other accessory 

contacts a secondary surface or a surface edge.
