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 repro-
ductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:
G
lead from lead-based paints
G
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
G
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 venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear
MSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of of personal injury.
