Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after
cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/or
heavy. Serious personal injury may result.

Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding-
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire,

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 lter 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 lay on the skin may promote absorption
of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate
and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.
Always operate tool in well-ventilated area
and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust collection system wherever possible.
