General Safety Rules

WARNING:
Shock Hazard. To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate
within 50 feet (15 m) of overhead electrical lines. Failure to do this
could result in severe personal injury.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cleaning tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
• 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. (CCA)
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.
• 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.
