• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: 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.
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.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse 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.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and
bystanders must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING: When not in use, place grinder on a stable
surface where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Serious personal injury may result.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use extra care
when working into a corner or edge because a sudden, sharp
movement of the tool may be experienced when the wheel or other
accessory contacts a secondary surface or a surface edge.
