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.

•
Always use the side handle supplied with the tool.
Keep a firm
grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without
holding it with both hands. Operating this tool with one hand will result
in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials
such as re-bar may be be hazardous as well.
•
Do not use chisels in any of the rotation modes.
Chisels may jam
causing loss of control.
•
Wear gloves when handling hammer bits and tools.
Hammer bits
and tools get hot during operation. Gloves and frequent rest periods
will reduce the risk of vibration damage to hands and arms.
•
Keep hands and body from between the tool and wall or post, etc.,
to avoid being crushed by the tool should it twist unexpectedly if the bit
binds.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
