WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction 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.
Use a vacuum cleaner for wood dust collection as described
in our manual whenever possible.
