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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Extension cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the pos­sibility of causing damage to the motor . Using extension cords with smaller than the rec­ommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See table,
