> People with pacemakers should 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. Any power cord must
be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be
implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
> 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 and 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 lumberYour 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.

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 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 reduces the blood supply to the hands and
fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
