General Power Tool Safety Warnings
_WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all 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 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.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating apower tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating apowertool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circu# interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFC/ reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power toors operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep H away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules for Rotary
Hammers
•Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
•Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
operations cause chips to fly. Flyingparticles can cause permanent
eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications
that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most
applications.
•Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding # with both hands.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.
Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar
may be hazardous as well.
•Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and
arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.
•Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should
be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned
chisels could cause injury.
•Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible
metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during
operation. Small bits of broken material may damage bare hands.
•Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete
stop. Moving bits could cause injury.
•Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them.
Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and cause
injury.
•Do not overheat the bit (discoloration) while grinding a new
edge. Badly worn chisels require reforging. Do not reharden and
temper the chisel
•Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
i_,WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOTsafety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

•ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
AWARNING: 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, and
• arsenic and chromMm 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.
i_,WARNING: 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.
,_ WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
_CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable
surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery
pack but may be easily knocked over.

•Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
•Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Thesmaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Charger Diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with the battery packs or the charger. Problems are indicated by the
three red lights flashing together in different patterns.
PROBLEM POWERLINE
When the charger is used with some portable power sources such
as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may
temporarily suspend operation. The three red lights will flash together
with two fast blinks followed by apause. This indicates that the
power souce is out of limits.
BAD BATTERY
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The three red
lights will flash together with rapid blinking. The battery will no longer
charge and should be returned to a service center or a collection site
for recycling.
BAD CHARGER
The charger will detect if it is not functioning properly. The three red
lights will flash together with one fast blink followed by a long
blink. The charger will no longer work and should be returned to an
authorized service center or replaced.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red
lights glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack
fresh and fully charged. This charger features an automatic tune-up
mode which equals or balances the individual cells in the battery
pack to allow it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should
be tuned up weekly or whenever the battery no longer delivers the
same amount of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65 °F
and 75 °F (18 °-24 °C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +105 °F
(+40.5 °C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to
the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights;
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F-75 °F
(18 o_ 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power
supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel

wool,aluminumfoil,oranybuildupofmetallicparticlesshouldbe

A STALLED DRILL -- THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled
hole. This will help prevent jamming.
6. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing
the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to drill without
the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for masonry
drilling. Be certain that the bit issharp. Ensure that the hammer mode
is selected. Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most
effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling
rate.

Avertissements de s_curit_ g_n_raux
pour les outils _lectriques
AAVERTISSEMENT! life tous les avertissements des_curit_ et toutes les directives. Le non-respect des
15
avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un
choc dectrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
CONSERVER TOUSLES AVERTISSEMENTS
ET TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN
USAGE ULTERIEUR
Le terme _outil dectrique _cite dans les avertissements se rapporte
votre outil dectrique a alimentation sur secteur (avec ill) ou par piles
(sans fil).
1) S#CURIT# DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
a) Tenir I'aire de travail propre et bien _clair_e. Les /ieux
encombres ou sombres sont propices aux accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils _lectriques clans un
milieu d_flagrant, tel qu'en presence de liquides, de
gaz ou de poussi_res inflammables. Les outi/s dectriques
produisent des etincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussiere
ou les vapeurs.
c) E-Ioignerles enfants et les personnes aproximit_ pendant
I'utilisation d'un outil _lectrique. Une distraction pourrait en
faire perdre la ma_trisea I'utilisateur.
2) SI_CURITI_ EN MATI#RE D'I_LECTRICITI_
a) Les fiches des outils _lectriques doivent correspondre
la prise. Ne jamais modifier la fiche d'aucune faqon.
Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un outil
_lectrique mis a la terre. Le risque de choc dectrique sera
reduit par I'utilisation de fiches non modifiees correspondant
la prise.
b) E-vitertout contact physique avec des surfaces mises a la
terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisini_res
et des r_frig_rateurs. Le risque de choc electrique est plus
deve si votre corps est mis a la terre.

c)Ne pas exposer les outils electriques a la pluie ou
I'humidite. La penetration de I'eau dans un outil dectrique
augmente le risque de choc dectrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de fa_on abusive. Ne jamais
utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou debrancher
un outil electrique. Tenir le cordon eloigne de la chaleur,
de rhuile, des bords tranchants et des pieces mobiles.
Les cordons endommages ou enchev_tres augmentent les
risques de choc dectrique.
e) Pour I'utilisation d'un outil electrique a I'exterieur, se
servir d'une rallonge convenant a cette application.
L'utilisation d'une rallonge conque pour I'exterieur reduira les
risques de choc dectrique.
f) S'il est impossible d'eviter rutilisation d'un outil
electrique dans un endroff humide, brancher routil dans
une prise ou sur un circuit d'alimentation dotes d'un
disjoncteur de fuite a la terre (GFCI). L'util/sat/on de ce type
de disjoncteur reduit les risques de choc dectrique.
3) SI_CURITI_ PERSONNELLE
a) Etre vigilant, surveiller le travail effectue et faire preuve
de jugement Iorsqu'un outil electrique est utilise. Ne
pas utiliser d'outil electrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
I'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de medicaments. Un
simple moment d'inattention en utilisant un outil dectrique peut
entra_ner des blessures corporelles graves.
b) Utiliser des equipements de protection individuelle.
Toujours porter une protection oculaire. L'uti/isation
d' equipements de protection comme un masque antipoussiere,
des chaussures antiderapantes, un casque de securite ou des
protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la situation le requiert reduira les
risques de blessures corporelles.
16
c) Empecher /es demarrages intempestifs. S'assurer que
I'interrupteur se trouve a la position d'arret avant de
relier I'outil a une source d'alimentation et/ou d'inserer
un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter I'outil.
Transporter un outil dectrique alors que le doigt repose sur
I'interrupteur ou brancher un outil dectrique dont I'interrupteur
est a la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.
d) Retirer toute cle de reglage ou cle avant de demarrer
I'outil. Une cle ou une cle de reglage attachee a une pattie
pivotante de I'outil dectrique peut provoquer des blessures
corporelles.
e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son equilibre en
tout temps. Cela permet de mieux ma_triser I'outil dectrique
dans les situations imprevues.
S'habiller de maniere appropriee. Ne pas porter de
vetements amples ni de bijoux. Garder /es cheveux, /es
vetements et les gants a I'ecart des pieces mobiles. Les
v_tements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de
rester coinces dans les pieces mobiles.
g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de
dispositifs de depoussierage et de ramassage, s'assurer
que ceux-ci sont bien raccordes et utilises. L'ut//isat/on
d'un dispositif de depoussierage peut reduire les dangers
engendres par les poussieres.
4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D'UN OUTIL leLECTRIQUE
a) Ne pas forcer un outil electrique. Utiliser I'outil electrique
approprie a I'application. L'outil dectrique approprie
effectuera un meilleur travail, de faqon plus sore et a la vitesse
pour laquelle il a ete conqu.
b) Ne pas utiliser un outil electrique dont I'interrupteur
est defectueux. Tout outil dectrique dont I'interrupteur est
defectueux est dangereux et doit _tre repare.

c)D_brancher la fiche de la source d'alimentation et/ou du
bloc-piles de routil _lectrique avant de faire tout r_glage
ou changement d'accessoire ou avant de ranger routil.
Ces mesures preventives reduisent les risques de demarrage
accidentel de I'outil dectrique.
d) Ranger les outils _lectriques hors de la pottle des
enfants et ne permettre a aucune personne n'_tant
pas famili_re avec un outil _lectrique ou son mode
d'emploi d'utiliser cet outil. Les outi/s dectriques deviennent
dangereux entre les mains d'utilisateurs inexperimentes.
e) Entretien des outils _lectriques. V_rifier si les pi_ces
mobiles sont mal align_es ou coinc_es, si des pi_ces sont
bris_es ou pr_sentent toute autre condition susceptible
de nuire au bon fonctionnement de I'outil _lectrique.
En cas de dommage, faire r_parer I'outil _lectrique
avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont
causes par des outils dectriques mal entretenus.
f) S'assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguis_s et
propres. Les outi/s de coupe bien entretenus et affOtes sont
moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles a ma_triser.
g) Utiliser I'outil _lectrique, les accessoires, les forets,
etc. conform_ment aux pr_sentes directives en tenant
compte des conditions de travail et du travail _effectuer.
L'utilisation d'un outil dectrique pour toute operation autre que
celle pour laquelle il a ete conquest dangereuse.
5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES
a) Ne recharger I'outil qu'au moyen du chargeur pr_cis_
par le fabricant. L'utilisation d'un chargeur qui convient
un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s'il est
utilise avec un autre type de b Ioc-piles.
17
b) Utiliser les outils _lectriques uniquement avec les blocs-
piles con_us a cet effet. L'utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles
risque de causer des blessures ou un incendie.
c) Lorsque le bloc-piles n'est pas utilis_, le tenir _loign_
des objets m_talliques, notamment des trombones, de
la monnaie, des cl_s, des clous, des vis ou autres petits
objets m_talliques qui peuvent _tablir une connexion
entre les deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bomes du bloc-
piles risque de provoquer des brOlures ou un incendie.
d) En cas d'utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors
du bloc-piles; _viter tout contact avec ce liquide. Si
un contact accidentel se produit, laver a grande eau.
Si le liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir
_galement des soins m_dicaux. Le /iquide qui gic/e hors du
bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brOlures.
6) RI_PARATION
a) Faire r_parer routil _lectrique par un r_parateur
professionnel en n'utilisant que des pi_ces de rechange
identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation
securitaire de I'outil dectrique.
Directives de s_curit_ suppl_mentaires
pour les perceuses _percussion
•Porter des protecteurs d'oreilles. Une exposition au bruit peut
entra_ner une perte auditive.
•Utiliser la/les poign_e(s) auxiliaire(s) si fournie(s) avec I'outil.
Une perte de ma_trise de I'outil peut entra_ner des blessures
corporelles.
•Tenir routil _lectrique par les surfaces isol_es pr_vues
cet effet pendant toute utilisation ob rorgane de coupe
pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills _lectriques caches.
Tout contact de I'organe de coupe avec un fil sous tension

mettralespartiesmetalliquesexposees de I'outil sous tension et
dectrocutera I'utilisateur.
•Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de
fixation permettant de soutenir et de retenir la piece sur
une plate-forme stable. Tenir la piece avec la main ou contre
son corps est instable et risque de provoquer une perte de
ma_trisede I'outil.
•Porter des lunettes de s_curit_ ou une autre protection
oculaire. Les operations de percussion peuvent projeter les
copeaux. Les particules projetees peuvent endommager les yeux
irreversiblement. Porter un masque antipoussieres ou un appareil
respiratoire. La plupart des applications peuvent demander
I'utilisation d'un dispositif de protection des oreilles.
•Tenir fermement I'outil en tout temps. Ne pas utiliser I'outil
sans le tenir des deux mains. Faire fonctionner cet outil d'une
seule main risque de provoquer la perte de ma_trise de I'outil.
II peut aussi _tre dangereux de percer ou de tomber sur des
materiaux durs comme une barre d'armature.
•Ne pas faire fonctionner cet outil durant de Iongues
p_riodes. Les vibrations causees par la percussion du marteau
peuvent _tre nuisibles pour vos mains et vos bras. Utiliser des
gants pour amortir davantage les vibrations et limiter I'exposition
I'outil par de frequentes periodes de repos.
•Ne pas remettre bneuf les m_ches vous-m_me. La remise
neuf du burin doit _tre realisee par un specialiste autorise. Les
burins mal remis a neuf peuvent causer des blessures.
•Porter des gants pour utiliser I'outil ou pour changer
les m_ches. Les pieces metal/iques accessibles de I'outil et
les meches peuvent devenir extr_mement chaudes durant le
fonctionnement de I'outil. De petits morceaux de materiau qui se
detachent peuvent endommager les mains nues.
•Ne jamais d_poser I'outil tant que la m_che ne s'est pas
compl_tement arr_t_e. Les meches mobiles peuvent provoquer
des blessures.
•Ne pas frapper sur les m_ches coinc_es avec un marteau
pour les d_loger. Des fragments de metal ou des copeaux de
materiau peuvent se ddoger et causer des blessures.
•Ne pas surchauffer la m_che (d_coloration) durant le
meulage d'un nouveau tranchant. Les bur/ns mal uses
demandent a _tre de nouveau forges. Ne pas durcir nine faire
revenir les burins.
•Prendre des precautions a proximit_ des _vents, car ils
cachent des pi_ces mobiles. Wtements amp/es, bijoux ou
cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans ces pieces mobiles.
_AVERTISSEMENT :porter SYSTEMATIQUEMENT des lunettes
de protection. Les lunettes courantes NE sont PAS des lunettes de
protection. Utiliser aussi un masque antipoussieres si la decoupe
doit en produire beaucoup. PORTER SYSTEMATIQUEMENT UN
EQUIPEMENT DE SECURITE HOMOLOGUE :
• Protection oculaire ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) ;
• Protection auditive ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) ;
• Protection des voies respiratoires NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA.
_AVERTISSEMENT :les scies, meules, ponceuses, perceuses
ou autres outils de construction peuvent produire des poussieres
contenant des produits chimiques reconnus par I'Etat califomien
pour causer cancers, malformations congenitales ou _tre nocifs au
systeme reproducteur. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :
• Le plomb clans les peintures a base de plomb ;
• La silice cristallisee dans les briques et le ciment, ou autres
produits de maqonnerie ; et
• L'arsenic et le chrome dans le bois ayant subi un traitement
chimique.
18

Le risque associe a de telles expositions varie selon la frequence
laquelle on effectue ces travaux. Pour reduire toute exposition aces
produits "travailler dans un endroit bien aere, en utilisant du materiel
de securite homologue, tel un masque antipoussieres specialement
conqu pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
•Limiter toute exposition prolong_e avec les poussi_res
provenant du pongage, sciage, meulage, pergage ou toute
autre activit_ de construction. Porter des v_tements de
protection et nettoyer a I'eau savonneuse les parties du
corps expos_es. Le fait de laisser la poussiere penetrer dans la
bouche, les yeux ou la peau peut favoriser I'absorption de produits
chimiques dangereux.
AAVERTISSEMENT :cet outil peut produire et/ou repandre
de la poussiere susceptible de causer des dommages serieux et
permanents au systeme respiratoire. Utiliser systematiquement un
appareil de protection des voies respiratoires homologue par le
NIOSH ou I'OSHA. Diriger les particules dans le sens oppose au
visage et au corps.
_AVERTISSEMENT : pendant I'utilisation, porter
syst_matiquement une protection auditive individuelle
adequate homologu_e ANSI $12.6 ($3.19). Sous certaines
conditions et suivant la duree d'utilisation, le bruit emanant de ce
produit pourrait contribuer a une perte de I'acuite auditive.
_ATTENTION : apr_s utilisation, ranger I'outil sur son c6t_,
sur une surface stable, I_ ob il ne pourra ni faire tr_bucher
ni faire chuter quelqu'un. Certains outils equipes d'un large bloc-
piles peuvent tenir a la verticale sur celui-ci, mais manquent alors de
