WARNING:

ALWAYS

use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR

CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains 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 and other masonry products, and

• 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.

• 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

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING:

Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NOSH/OSHA approved

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face

and body.
