SAFETY RULES
WARNING: 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 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.
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.
WARNING: This product maybe contains lead,
phthalate or other chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm. Please
wash your hands after use.
WARNING: When using electric gardening
appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

8) WARNING -To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-a, SOW-a,
STW-a, STOW-a, SJW-a, SJOW-a, SJTW-a,
or SJTOW-a.
9) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 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. To reduce the
risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
10) Avoid unintentional Starting - Don’t carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry appliance
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
12) Don’t Force Appliance - It will do the job
better and with less likelihood of a risk of
injury at the rate for which it was designed.
13) Don’t overreach - Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
14) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
appliance when you are tired.
15) Disconnect Appliance - Disconnect the
appliance from the power supply when not in
use, before servicing, when changing
accessories such as blades, and the like.
16) Store idle Appliances indoors - When not in
use, appliances should be stored indoors in
dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach
of children.
17) Maintain Appliance with Care - Keep
cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
