ROTARY TOOL SAFETY RULES
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or per-
manent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of any vibration-
related injury:
1. First be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s disease should not use this
tool.
2. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
3. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
4. Wear suitable work gloves to reduce the effects of vibration. Hold the tool firmly enough to keep safe
control of it, but NOT too tightly. The risk associated with vibration is increased when the gripping force is
high. Let the tool do the work.
5. Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.

contain chemicals, including lead and wood dust, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. 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 expo-
sure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks
These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool,
so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
