Operation

WARNING:  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] 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 or 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 well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially de-
signed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code  25249.5, et
