Hammer Drill. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact
eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

8. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

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.
