8 Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener
• WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse 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.
• CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing
loss.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the abrasive belt may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
• Always hold tool firmly.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• 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 lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
