Operating hazards
• Test the emergency stop before each use. Do not operate
the tool if the emergency stop is not working.
• Before resetting the emergency stop, disconnect the air
supply.
• Clamp the tool securely.
• Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped.
• Beware the tool output: this advances and rotates.
• Ensure the tool is at a complete stop before removing
work.
• This tool and its accessories must not be modified in any
way.
Workplace hazards
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• Do not expose electric power tools to rain. Do not use in
damp or wet conditions.
• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use
hearing protection as recommended by your employer or
occupational health and safety regulations.
• Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work
process which can be harmful to your health. Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment
when working with materials which produce airborne
particles.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paints.
• Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other ma-
sonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rub-
ber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware
of potential hazards created by your work activity. This
tool is not insulated from coming into contact with elec-
tric power sources.
• This tool is not recommended for use in potentially ex-
plosive atmospheres.
