23.WARNING! The warnings and cautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied the the operator.

24.WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill- ing, and other construction activities contain 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 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. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.)

25.WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualfified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by

a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1.Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity aways from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
