A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

1. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

2. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. The table on the following page shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

For more detailed information visit www.rikontools.com or www.oehha.ca.gov.

DUST HAZARDS AND SAFETY

GROUNDING THE DUCT WORK

Dust particles moving through flexible or rigid plastic duct work can cause static electricity build-up. The duct work must be properly grounded to ensure that static discharge does not ignite fine dust particles causing an explosion or fire.

To properly ground plastic duct work, simply run a small gauge bare copper wire through the ducting and have it emerge from the hose at the dust collector and at each dust producing machine. The bare copper wire should be bonded to the metal shell of each machine by means of a metal screw. The screw must be threaded into the metal shell to ensure a good connection.

The grounding of metal duct work is similar, the only difference is that there is no need to run the bare copper wire inside the ducting. It can be wrapped along the out side of the ducting and should be bonded to each machine as described above.
