Section 1 - General Safety Practices

Battery
• Keep sparks, flames and lighted material away from batteries. Explosive gases
could cause death or serious injury.
Dust Hazard
• Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including crystalline silica,
could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including silicosis. Concrete,
masonry, many types of rock, and various other materials contain silica sand.
California lists respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer.
Operation of this equipment under certain conditions may generate airborne dust
particles that could contain crystalline silica. In those conditions personal
protective equipment including an appropriate respirator must be used. If
excessive dust is generated, a dust collection or suppression system should also
be used during operation.
