Power tools generate noise.
Ear protection must be worn when tool noise level exceeds 85 dBA. We also recommend that ear protection be worn when the
tool noise level is below 85 dBA. See the tool's information sheet for the noise level. A risk assessment and implementation
of controls for noise hazards are essential. Appropriate controls may include damping materials to prevent work pieces from
ringing. Operate and maintain the drill as recommended in these instructions in order to prevent an unnecessary increase in
noise and vibration levels. Select, maintain, and replace consumables as recommended in their respective instruction manuals
to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise and vibration. Avoid direct contact with inserted tools during and after use as they
can become hot or sharp. Always ensure that the tools muffler material is in place before operating the tool.
Prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

damaged or missing labels by contacting Sioux Tools.
Power tools vibrate.
Excessive vibration can cause injury. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult
a physician. See the tool's information sheet for the vibration level. Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the
nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands
warm and dry. Do not allow inserted tools to chatter on the work piece as this is likely to cause an increase in vibration.
Support the weight of the tool in a stand or tensioner if possible. Hold the tool with a light but sure grip. Take into account the
need to counter reaction torque but know that risk of vibration and grip force are directly proportional.
Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause injury.
Drills present a risk of entanglement. Use of the tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards. Wear suitable gloves to protect the hands.
