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 and other masonry products, and
•
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.
•
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Direct particles away from face and body.
•
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove the vast majority of static
and airborne dust. Failure to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate
the working environment or pose an increased health risk to the operator and those in
close proximity.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Shears
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
•
Cut material at or below rated capacity.
•
NEVER have any part of your body near the blades. Serious personal injury may result.
•
Keep hands away from cutting area. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
ALWAYS wear gloves when handling sheet metal. The edges are sharp and can cause
serious personal injury.
•
Firmly secure the piece of metal to be cut to prevent movement during cutting.
•
ALWAYS start tool before engaging material to be cut.
•
If possible, cut material so scrap curl is to the right. This direction will move curl down
and out of the way.
•
Use shears upright. If tool is upside down, metal curl may turn toward you.
•
DO NOT use the shear with any kind of accessory or attachment.
•
Always wear safety shoes to protect your feet from sharp metal debris on the floor.
•
Keep all screws tight. Check periodically for loosening.
