Additional Safety Information
WARNING:
ALWAYS
use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
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 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.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate
and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always
use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING:
Always wear proper
personal hearing protection that conforms
to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use.
Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
