Your riskfrom 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.
A WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
A WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) during use. Under some
conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product
may
contribute to hearing loss.
A WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders
must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87. 1.
A WARNING:
When not in use, place grinder
on a stable
surface where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a
tripping or falling hazard. The grinder may stand upright on the
battery pack but may be easily knocked over. Serious personal injury
may result.
A WARNING: The grinding wheel or accessory
may loosen
during coast-down of the tool when shut off. if grinding wheel or
accessory loosens, it may dismount from the machine and may cause
serious personal injury.
ACAUTION:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use extra care
when working into a comer or edge because a sudden, sharp
movement of the tool may be experienced when the wheel or other
accessory contacts a secondary surface or a surface edge.

An extension
cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG
or American
Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
