Remove all adjusting wrenches before turning on the Jigsaw.  A wrench that
is left attached to a moving part of the tool may result in personal injury.

25.

Use safety equipment.  Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles
when operating the Jigsaw.  A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, and
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

26.

Use the right tool or attachment for the right job.  Do not attempt to force a

28.              WARNING!   Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-

ing, and other construction activities, contain 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.)
