Reduce dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool
may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of such substances are, lead (in paint
containing lead), additives used for wood treatment
(chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types
(such as oak or beech dust).
The risk from these exposures depends on how
long you or bystanders are being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
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.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush
