RISK TO BREATHING/
INHALATION HAZARD.
Always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator and work
in a well ventilated area when using tools that generate dust. Some dust created by power
sanding, 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
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
RISK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or safety sheets for the materials you are spraying. Use a MSHA/
NIOSH approved respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read
all instructions and be sure that your respirator mask will protect you. Work in an area with good
cross ventilation.

tank. Breathing these contaminant’s can cause serious injury or death. In order to use air produced
by this compressor for breathing, suitable filters and in-line safety equipment must be properly
installed. In-line filters and safety equipment must be properly installed. In-line filters and safety
equipment used in conjunction with the compressor must be capable of treating air to all applicable
local and federal codes prior to human consumption.
