cushion, take frequent rest periods, and
limit daily time of use.
• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from air vents. Air vents often
cover moving parts in which these items
can be caught.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during
operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• Hold tool firmly with two hands,
one hand on the handle, and the other
gripping the bottom around the battery
area or the auxiliary handle if provided.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not
cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some
tools with large battery packs will stand
upright but may be easily knocked over.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye
protection. Hammering and drilling
operations cause chips to fly. Flying
particles can cause permanent eye
damage. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if drilling operation is dusty.
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA
Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING
:
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
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 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 harmful
chemicals.
WARNING
generate and/or disperse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use
NOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure.
Direct particles away from face and body.

• When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one 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. The
following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
