•Avoid operating alone.
•Do not use with power switch locked on.
•Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
•Any power cord must be properly grounded.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
20.WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
•Arsenic and chromium from
