of reach of children.
People with pacemakers should 

16. 

consult their physician(s) before 

use.  Electromagnetic fields in close 

proximity to heart pacemaker could 

cause pacemaker interference or 

pacemaker failure.  In addition, 

people with pacemakers should: 

• Avoid operating alone.

 

• Do not use with power switch locked 

on. 

• Properly maintain and inspect to 

avoid electrical shock. 

• Any power cord must be properly 

grounded.  Ground Fault Circuit 

Interrupter (GFCI) should also be 

implemented – it prevents sustained 

electrical shock.
Some dust created by power 

17. 

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.

)

The warnings, precautions,

cover all possible conditions and 

situations that may occur.  It must 

be understood by the operator that
