Important Safety Instructions
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 example 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 on how often
you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these
chemicals when using such
tools:
• work in a well ventilated area
• work with approved safety
equipment
• always wear MSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting face
mask or respirator.
When using air tools, basic safety
precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury.
