always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:

WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING,

· 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.

POLARIZED PLUGS: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
