25. 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 out
microscopic particles. (California Health
& Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
WARNING: The brass components of
this product contain lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause
birth defects (or other reproductive
harm). (California Health & Safety code

Vibration Precautions
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 between
different processes.
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.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as
explained in this manual. If abnormal
vibration occurs, stop immediately.
