ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES cont.
WARNING:
Some dust particles created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction Jobs contain
chemicals known 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.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING:
The operation of any saw can
result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning power tool operation, ALWAYS wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shield
and a full face shield when needed. We recommend
a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses
or standard safety glasses with side shield, both available
at Sears Retail Stores,
