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 or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
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. This product contains or when used, produces a chemical known

Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by
a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud’s
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the
work.
