Failure to follow all instructions listed below may Keep work area clean and well lit. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your tool. [. . . ] This tool may be used with sanding and polishing disks, grinding wheels, wire wheel and wire cup brushes. These accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. 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 chemicallytreated 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. Some dust created by IMPORTANT: Some of the following symbols may be used on your tool. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer.

The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. "LOCK-ON" BUTTON The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of your tool allows for continuous operation at maximum RPM without holding the trigger (Fig. TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger and release it without depressing the "LockON" button. [. . . ] If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats. Use of the "Lock-ON" button feature will provide a much easier operation. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue. [. . . ]
