SPECIFIC SAFETY RU ES
•Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
•Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
•Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
•Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
•Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover
moving parts in which these items can be caught.
•Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. It is recommended to use rubber
gloves. This will enable better control of the tool.

• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
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, 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.
