  WARNING!  People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before us-

ing this product.  Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

  WARNING!  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Some examples of these chemi-
cals 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.)

GROUNDING

  WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool or
product. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if
the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service
facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
