interference to or failure of the pacemaker. In addition, people with pacemakers
should adhere to the following:
• Avoid operating power tools alone.
• Don’t use a power tool with the power switch locked on.
• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground
fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is
a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
• Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
WARNING: Some dust created by power planing, sanding, sawing, grinding, 17.
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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code
§ 25249.5, et seq.)
GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facil-
ity before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong 1.
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the
tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resis-
tance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the 2.
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
