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 and 

other masonry products and. 

•  arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated 

lumber.

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

a)  Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents.

b)  Do not operate power tools in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust. 

Power tools 

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c)  Keep children and bystanders away while 

operating a power tool. 

distractions can cause 

you to lose control.

2.  eleCtRiCal SaFetY
a)  power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any 
adapter plugs with grounded power tools. 

unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 
risk of electric shock.

b)  avoid body contact with grounded surfaces 

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 
refrigerators. 

There is an increased risk of electric 

shock if your body is grounded.

c)  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 

conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

d)  Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord 

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power 
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp 
edges or moving parts.

damaged or entangled 

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e)  when operating a power tool outdoors, use an 

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. 

use of 

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of 
electric shock.
