power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities,

contains chemicals known [to the State

defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

chemically treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this type

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.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use.

Repeated or long-term exposure to

vibration may cause temporary or

permanent physical injury, particularly

to the hands, arms and shoulders.

To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly

or for an extended period should first

be examined by a doctor and then

have regular medical check-ups to

ensure medical problems are not

being caused or worsened from use.

Pregnant women or people who have

impaired blood circulation to the hand,

past hand injuries, nervous system

disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s

Disease should not use this tool.

If you feel any symptoms related to

vibration (such as tingling, numbness,

and white or blue fingers), seek

medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use.

Nicotine reduces the blood supply

to the hands and fingers, increasing

the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration

when there is a choice.

5. Include vibration-free periods

each day of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible

(while still keeping safe control of it).

Let the tool do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as

explained in this manual. If any abnormal

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
