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.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.
Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain
hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the
possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may
result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection
can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won't make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention.
Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don't try it. Figure out an
alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
