GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
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 and other
masonry products,
• 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 specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
• The term power tool in the warnings refers to your
electric (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
