Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders

English	• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
	• Clean your tool out periodically.
	CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
	use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
	product may contribute to hearing loss.
	WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
	drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

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.

•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
