SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive 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.
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.
WARNING:
A damaged battery is subject to explosion. To avoid
serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged
battery.
