• Avoid operating power tools alone.
• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground

7. wArning! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain 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 or other masonry products.
• 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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium

arsenate (ccA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should
be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
