*These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated
standards and are not adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual work
places may be higher than the declared values. The actual exposure values and risk of harm
experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user works, the
workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition
of the user. We, Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the
declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in
a work place situation over which we have no control.
Sound pressure level 95.0 dB(A) in accordance with EN ISO 15744. For sound

Workplace Hazards
!
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of

airborne particles.
!
Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential
hazards created by your work activity.
!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
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 dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
