REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription
eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.
WARNING:
Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if
broken during the operation of a power tool.
WARNING: Use hearing protection, particularly during extended
periods of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of

WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING:
Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety
equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
WARNING:
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 120 V AC operation. It must be
connected to a 120 V AC, 15 A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed
fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord
immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
