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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Be aware of buried, hidden or other hazards in your
work environment. Do not contact or damage cords,
conduits, pipes or hoses that may contain electrical
wires, explosive gases or harmful liquids.
• Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or
ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment.
• Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and jewelry
away from working end of tool.

motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful
to your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if dis-
comfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek medical
advice before resuming use.

reach when operating this tool. Anticipate and be
alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction torques,
or forces during start up and operation.
• Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their
motion after throttle is released.
• To avoid accidental starting - ensure tool is in “off”
