    Woodworking, metalworking, composites, etc. (and similar materials) can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the machine. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.

Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks/respirators that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
