8. WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,

of California] to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

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.
