cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
• Always hold the tool firmly with both hands for maximum control. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Do not restart the cutting operation in the work piece. Let the tool reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut.
• Do not "jam" the cut-off saw blade or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut.
• keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback. Exercise
extreme caution when handling the accessories. The accessories are very sharp. Wear protective
gloves when changing cutting accessories. Accessories become hot after prolonged usage.
• Before scraping, check work piece for nails. If there are nails, either remove them or set
them well below intended finished surface. Striking a nail with accessory edge could cause
the tool to jump.
• Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids entering the motor housing are an electrical shock hazard.
• Never work in area which is soaked with a liquid, such as a solvent or water, or dampened
such as newly applied wallpaper. There is an electrical shock hazard when working in such
conditions with a power tool and heating of the liquid caused by scraping action may cause
harmful vapors to be emitted from work piece.
• Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend
beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper
extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.

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 lay on the skin may promote absorption of

analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
