SAVE THESE WARNINGS
APPLICATIONS
15. WARNING:
Some dust created by power 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 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

The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
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 medical or
physical 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.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
4.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work. Let the tool do the work.
5.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop
use immediately.
