Vibration Safety - Chicago Electric 68821 User Manual

11. WARNING: Some dust created by 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:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly 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.
SKU 68821 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
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.
5. Include vibration-free periods
each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of it).
Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK
