Chicago Electric 93632 operating instructions Vibration Safety

•Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

•Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter- rupter (GFCI) should also be imple- mented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

12.Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemi- cals 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 ce- ment or 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 ventilat- ed 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.)

13.WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemi- cal known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

14.The warnings, precautions, and instruc- tions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which can- not be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

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 vibra- tion-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 cir- culation 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 re- duces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration- related injury.

3.Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibra- tion effects on the user.

4.Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different pro- cesses.

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
