Proposition 65 Warning; Terminology - ShopMaster DELTA S36-300 Guide D'utilisation

• DO NOT touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging
or plugging in the cord.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. If you use an
extension cord, make sure it is in good condition and
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. See
Extension Cord Chart for correct size depending on cord
length and data plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next smaller gauge number. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. When working outside,
make sure the extension cord is rated for outdoor use.
Consult power connection section of this manual for
Extension Cord Chart and power connection safety.
DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORDS. NEVER yank cord
•
to disconnect from receptacle, crush cord, or expose it
to heat, oil or sharp objects.
USE PROPER TOOL. Do not force tool to do a task for
•
which it was not designed.
• SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold
the workpiece when practical. It is safer than using your
hands and frees both hands to operate tool.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
•
habit of checking to see that all adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed before starting tool.
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemical known
to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Asbestos dust
• Arsenic and chromium 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 with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specifically
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.
If you have any questions or concerns relative to the use of your tool or the contents of this manual, stop using the tool and
