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. Avoid prolonged contact
with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING
!
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure.
Direct particles away from face and body.
