• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch
locked on.

11. 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 lter out
microscopic particles. (California Health
& Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
12. 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.)
13. 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

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 rst
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
ngers), seek medical advice as soon
as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine
reduces the blood supply to the hands
and ngers, 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.
