work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from 
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only 
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power 
tool is maintained.
Specific Safety Rules
•  Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation 
where  the  abrasive  belt  may  contact  hidden  wiring  or  its  own  cord. 
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and 
shock the operator.
•  Always hold tool firmly.
•  Use  clamps  or  another  practical  way  to  secure  and  support  the  work 
piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body 
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• WARNING: ALWAYS use proper safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT 
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR 
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•  ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•  ANSI 512.6 (53.19) hearing protection,
•  NI05H/OSHA 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  lie  on  the  skin  may  promote  absorption  of  harmful 
chemicals.
