Do not use within  10 m of areas where explosive materials may be present (such as gasoline pumps and places where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents, etc. are stored).

• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.

• Use extra care when using on stairs. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
  Keep work area clean and well lit. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Avoid dangerous environmental conditions. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store tool indoors.

• Inspect the area before using the power tool. Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

FUG Some dust created b ower Ce 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 paint ecrystalline 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 spe- cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Do not put hands or objects into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything else that may reduce air flow.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool  in unexpected situations.

• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s  operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
