SAFETY RULES
WARNING
For your own safety, read and understand all warnings
and operating instructions before using any tool or
equipment.
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.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, 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. Always wear OSHA/
NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator
when using such tools.

neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts of the tool.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
