h) Avoid unusual body positions. Make sure you
work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all
times.
i) Wear non-skid shoes.
j) Always lead the supply cord, the extension cord
and the suction hose away to the rear when work-
en
ing. This will help to prevent tripping while working.
k) After finishing the work, always tidy up and stow
the supply cord, extension cord and suction hose
away securely. This will reduce the risk of tripping
and falling.
Do not transport the appliance by crane.
l)
m) Check to ensure that the appliance is switched
off before plugging the supply cord into a power
outlet.
n) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sand-
ing, cutting and drilling contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility or other
reproductive harm; or serious and permanent res-
piratory or other injury. Some examples of these
chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crys-
talline silica from bricks, concrete and other masonry
products and natural stone, 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 exposure to these
chemicals, the operator and bystanders should
work in a well-ventilated area, work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such as respiratory pro-
tection appropriate for the type of dust generated,
and designed to filter out microscopic particles
and direct dust away from the face and body.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust. Wear protec-
tive clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
nose, eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
