SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL.
Read the owner’s manual
carefully. Learn the tool’s applications, work capabilities,
and its specific potential hazards.
BEFORE USING YOUR MACHINE
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and
follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before
operating the machine.
1. Some dust created by using power tools 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 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.
