People with pacemakers should
9.
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked
on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to
avoid electrical shock.
WARNING: Some dust created by
10.
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.
)

Vibration safety
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:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
1.
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.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine
2.
reduces the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
3.
vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration
4.
when there is a choice.
Include vibration-free periods each
5.
day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while
6.
still keeping safe control of it). Let
the tool do the work.
