SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. S o m e
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 (CCA).
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. We a r
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.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
i n j u r y. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.
Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
