WARNING! Some dust particles created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill and other
construction jobs contain 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.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these dusts:
• Work in a well-ventilated.
• Work with approved protective equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has
been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome
injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to
the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily
basis and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL FOR THE VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a
minimum level and should be used with the current guidance
on vibration.
