grounded. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also
be implemented – it prevents
sustained electrical shock.
16. 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.)
17. WARNING: Handling the cord on this
product will expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling. (California Health &
Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
18. The warnings, precautions, and
instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must
be supplied by the operator.
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. 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.
