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 (CCA).
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

recommended or sold by Sears may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord, pull by plug rather than

• 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.
WARNING: Use of this tool can
generate and/or disburse 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.
7. An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with
2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only
round jacketed extension cords should
be used, and we recommend that they
be listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(U.L.). If the extension is to be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for
outdoor use. Any cord marked for
outdoor use can also be used for
indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA"
on the cord jacket indicate that the
cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent
loss of power and overheating. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire,
the greater the capacity of the cable;
