tired.
WARNING: Some dust created when using power tools to sand, grind, drill or saw
and/or other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these types
of chemicals:
• lead from lead-based paint
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do work that involves
these materials.
To reduce exposure risk, work in a well ventilated area with approved safety equipment like
dust masks that are designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from construction activities like power sanding,
sawing, grinding, and drilling. Always wear protective clothing and immediately wash
any exposed areas with soap and water.
If you allow dust to get into your eyes or mouth, or stay on your skin, you risk absorption of
these harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Dust from use of this tool on construction material may cause serious
and/or permanent respiratory (or other) injury. Direct the particles away from your face,
and be sure to use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection against dust exposure.

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.

• Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
• Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the
work.
