CAUTION: When drilling or driving into walls, floors or
wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT
TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by
insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or
drive into a live wire.

English
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
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.
