ADDITONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

2) Electrical safety
1. Hold power tools by its its insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring. Contact
with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
2. Use a metal detector to determine if thereare gas or water pipes hidden in
the work area or call the local utility company for assistance before
beginning the operation. Striking or cutting into a gas line will result
in explosion. Water entering an electrical device may cause electrocution.
3. 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.
4. Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being
cut. The proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback.
6. Exercise extreme caution when handling the accessories. The accessories
are very sharp.
7. Wear protective gloves when changing cutting accessories. Accessories
become hot after prolonged usage.
8. Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent
rest periods. Vibration caused by the tool may be harmful to the hands and arms.
9. Before scraping, check workpiece 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.
10. Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids entering the motor housing is an
electrical shock hazard.
11. 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 workpiece.
12. Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and
when sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and
inhaled easily and may cause health complications.
13. Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated
lumber, paint that may be lead based, or any other materials that may
contain carcinogens. A suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing
must be worn by all persons entering the work area. Work area should be
sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be kept out until
work area is thoroughly cleaned.
14. 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.
15. WARNING.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
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,depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your expo-
sure 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
microscopic particles.
