grounded. The Ground Fault Cir- cuit Interrupter (GFCI) must also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

13.Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause can- cer, birth defects or other repro- ductive 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 chemi- cally treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures var- ies, 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.)

14.WARNING: Handling the Power Cord (6) on this product will ex- pose you to lead, a chemical 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.)

15.The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this in- struction 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 by the operator.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Re- peated 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 regu- larly 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, ner- vous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibra- tion (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2.Do not smoke during use. Nico- tine 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 between dif- ferent processes.

5.Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
