unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

8. People with pacemakers should consult their

physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close

proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker

interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people

with pacemakers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Do not use with power switch locked on.

• Properly maintain and inspect

to avoid electrical shock.

9. 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 or other

masonry products

• 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.

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

10. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product’s adapter

will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or

long-term exposure to vibration may cause

temporary or permanent physical injury,

particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To

reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an

extended period should first be examined by a

doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to

ensure medical problems are not being caused or

worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who

have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past

hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,

or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If

you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such

as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),

seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces

the blood supply to the hands and fingers,

increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration

when there is a choice.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping

safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as

explained in this manual. If any abnormal

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
