CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE
SILICA DUST WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz,
brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of
airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In ad-
dition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance
known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
Use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protection where dust hazard may occur. Paper masks
or surgical masks without a NIOSH approval number are not recommended because they do little to
protect the worker. For more information about respirator programs, including what respirators have
received NIOSH approval as safe and effective, please visit the NIOSH website at:
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/respirators
Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 C.F.R.§1910.134).

SAFETY
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-
tain 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 and other masonry products
•
Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
For further information, consult the following sources:

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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Where
use of a dust extraction device is possible, it should be used. To achieve a high level of dust collec-
tion, use an industrial HEPA vacuum cleaner. Observe OSHA 29 CFR part 1926.57 and 1926.103.
Diamond tools improperly used are dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute
Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges,
Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules, Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.
