WARNING

Sawing, grinding and drilling generates dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes, skin

and respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the

material being sawed, ground or drilled; (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used

are dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and Occupational Safety

and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges, Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules,

Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain

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, cement and other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

For further information, consult the following sources:

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

dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Where use of a dust extraction device

is possible, it should be used. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use an industrial vacuum cleaner.
