Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the dust created using this power tool
may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, 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, hard
wood like oak or beech, metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substance will
depends on how long you or bystanders are being
exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce your exposure to these substances: 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.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
