WARNING
Before using this tool or any of its accessories, read this manual and follow all

instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible situations.
It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be

EYE, EAR, LUNG PROTECTION
SYMBOL MEANING
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH
CSA Z94.3 or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
Prescription eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye
protection. The usage of a safety standard compliant face shield
placed over proper safety glasses or goggles can reduce the
risk of facial injury.
Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if broken
during the operation of a power tool.
Use hearing protection, particularly during extended periods
of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities may contain chemicals that
are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic
abnormalities. These chemicals include:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry
products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies,
according to how often this type of work is performed. In order
to reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated
area, and use approved safety equipment, such as a dust mask
