Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC pow-
er supply. While the tool may appear to work,
the electrical components of the AC rated tool
are likely to fail and create a hazard to the op-
erator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control
the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of con-
trol.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not
to disassemble any portion of the tool since
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched
or safety guard return springs may be improp-
erly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.
Do not use vacuum or other dust collection
system when cutting metal. Sparks from metal
cutting can cause fire in the collector.

Additional Safety Warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
-8-
Some dust created by pow-
er sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known 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, de-
pending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemi-
cals: 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.
