(*5&W"83%/,"8$1 The peelings, residue and
vapors of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain
lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950
is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on
surfaces, hand-to-mouth contact can result in
the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low
levels can cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage; young and unborn children are
particularly vulnerable. Before beginning any
paint removal process you should determine
whether the paint you are removing contains
lead. This can be done by your local health
department or by a professional who uses
a paint analyzer to check the lead content
of the paint to be removed. LEAD BASED
PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY
A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT
BE REMOVED USING THIS TOOL.

This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
a. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should 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.
If you feel any symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
b. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
c. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
d. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
e. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
f. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
g. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
