people with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this
product.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause
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.
never leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn
off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving. Do not leave tool until
it comes to a complete stop.
never run the belt sander without the spark cover properly installed.
take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium
arsenate (ccA) which can be toxic.
When sanding these materials extra care should
be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
wArning: some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the state of califor-
nia] 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 de-
signed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
