HEALTH WARNINGS
Dust is created when sawing, which could contain harmful particles.
Some examples of these particles include:
• Lead from lead based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks, concrete, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk to these types of exposure varies depending on how often you do
this type of work and your environment.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.
