CAUTION:
When cutting into walls, floors or wherever live
electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY
METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by insulated
grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you saw into a live
wire.
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).
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.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
