Porter-Cable 352VS - Manual (Page 2)

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 example of these chemicals are:
● ● lead from lead-based paints
● ● crystalline silica from bricks and 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, always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or
respirator when using such tools.

This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information re-
lates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize
this information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these
sections.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
