WARNING:
Some dust created by using power tools contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and 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 masonryproducts.
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• 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.
!
WARNING:
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.
