Porter-Cable PCXB515BG, Instruction Manual

3

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 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.

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. 

Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse 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.
