WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known in 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 (CCA).
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 disburse 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. Always operate tool in well-ventilated area and provide for
proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear
certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3).
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.
• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
