SAFETY WARNINGS
SILICA DUST WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz,
brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of
airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In ad-
dition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance
known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-
tain 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
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
For further information, consult the following sources:

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.
PA1FS FLOOR SCRAPER SAFETY
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used
for this machine. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this
measure of safety. When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed closest to the power
source, followed by the extension cord and lastly, the machine.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage to the tool, never im-
merse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside the tool.
WARNING
Asbestos Warning
Some floor coverings contain asbestos. Removing, cutting, grinding or otherwise disturbing these
coverings can cause asbestos dust to become airborne. Never remove flooring containing asbestos
without fully understanding proper state and federal procedures and guidelines for removal of these
products. Laws are different from state to state.
