WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known [to the Sate 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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 risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly 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.
