10. 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 

filter out microscopic particles.   

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, 

et seq.

)

11.  WARNING: Handling the cord on this product’s 

Charger 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.

)

12. The warnings, precautions, and instructions

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 first 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 fingers), 

seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2.  Do not smoke during use.  Nicotine reduces 

the blood supply to the hands and fingers, 

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.

7.  To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as 

explained in this manual.  If any abnormal 

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

 SAVE THESE INSTRUcTIONS.
