24. 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 lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber Your risk from these exposures varies, depen-
ding 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: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State

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 circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medi-
cal or physical 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 reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the
risk of vibration-related injury.
