Some examples of these chemicals are: ° Lead from lead-based paints. ° Crystalline silica from bricks, 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 wellventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles 2. READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications. 3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle.
