Injury from contact with the cutting bits
–
The bits are sharp and will become hot during use.
Wear gloves when changing bits. Keep hands away
from the cutting area at all times. Never hold the
workpiece being cut in your hands or across your
leg. Secure the workpiece whenever possible.
■
Injury caused by noise
–
Prolonged exposure to noise will increase the risk
of hearing damage, and the effects are cumulative.
When using power tools for any extended period of
time, wear hearing protection.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness, and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.

■
Electrical tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. We do
not recommend using the productl for extended work on
these types of materials.
