15. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product.

Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of
the pacemaker.
In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:

Avoid operating power tools alone.

Don’t use a power tool with the power switch locked on.

If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground fault interrupt
(GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is a good safety measure because
it prevents a sustained electrical shock.

Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.

16. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) 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 or other masonry products, 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 specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,

et seq.)

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1.

Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the
tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See Diagram A.)

2.

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only
wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an
electrically “live” terminal. (See Diagram A.)

3.

Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Diagram A.)
