• 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.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.

Symbols
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitions are as follows:
V ..................volts A ..................amperes
Hz................hertz W..................watts
min ..............minutes ................alternating current
............direct current no ................no load speed
................Class I Construction ..................earthing terminal
(grounded) ................safety alert symbol
................Class II Construction .../min or rpm ........revolutions or reciprocation
(double insulated) per minute
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
