Read and understand all instructions before using this
product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:

Do not use on wet surfaces.
Do not charge the unit outdoors.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to a service center.
Do not handle appliance with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away
from openings and moving parts.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never
allow adults to operate the equipment without proper
instruction.
Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Avoid loose
garments or jewellery that could get caught in moving
parts of the machine or its motor.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous, and must be repaired.
Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, or under
the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Do not operate in poor lighting.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids,
such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be
present
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place (if
applicable).
Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and
accessories. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock – Do Not Expose
To Rain – Store Indoors.

3 DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord. The
appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must
be identical to the parts they replace.
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW or
SJTW.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is
the correct size for your appliance. The 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 gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

To reduce the risk of personal injury due to a loose
electrical connection between the appliance’s plug and
extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug
to the extension cord.
Periodically check the connection while operating to
ensure it is fully attached.
Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose
connection. A loose connection may result in
overheating, fire, and increases the risk of a burning.
To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord
from the extension cord during operating:

1. Make a knot as shown in figure.

• Maintain appliance with care – Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.

WARNING
This product contains a chemical known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. 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;
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure to these chemicals 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 dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

Save these instructions.

5 CHILD SAFETY

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the
presence of children.

Keep children out of the working area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this
machine. Children who are 14 years of age and older
must read and understand the operating instructions and
safety rules in this manual and must be trained and
supervised by a parent.
Stay alert, and turn the machine off if a child or any other
person enters the working area.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your view of a child who may run into the path of the
machine.
