• 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 ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
EN
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)
Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2)
Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
