• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

activities contains 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, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
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 those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Protect yourself and those around you. Research
and understand the materials you are cutting.
Follow correct safety procedures and comply with
all applicable national, state or provisional health
and safety regulations relating to them, including,
if appropriate arranging for the safe disposal of the
materials by a qualified person.
