WARNING
• The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power-tool operation, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full-face shield, when needed. We recommend
using a wide vision safety mask over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with shields. Always
use eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
• 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, cement, and other masonry products
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as 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
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
