Secure the material being cut. Never hold
small pieces in your hand or across your
legs. Do not touch cutters or reach below
work or remove cut material during use of the
shear. Shears that cut metal will cut skin
easily.
Protect the cord from sharp metal edges
or strips while shearing metals. Position
the cord clear of rotating bit. Sharp metal
edges can pierce the jacket of the cord,
which can be a shock hazard.
Do not cut material greater than the rated
capacity of the shear. Cutting material
greater than the capacity of the shear may
cause damage to the cutting edges of the
shear.
Do not use dull or damaged cutters or
accessories not intended for this shear.
Replace worn cutters. Sharp cutters
minimize stalling.
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. 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.
