DUST WARNING
Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes
from the material being cut, which frequently contains silica.
Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of
such dust can cause:
• Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including
chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from exposure
to silica. These diseases may be fatal;
• Skin irritation and rash; and
• Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*
* National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research
on Cancer
Take precautionary steps
• Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;
• Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;
• Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory
protection such as dust masks designed to filter out microscopic
particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)
California Prop 65 Warning: Use of this product can cause exposure to
materials known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
