Wood Dust
The fine particle dust produced in wood cutting operations can be a health
hazard. Some imported hard woods do in fact give off highly irritant dust
which causes a burning sensation. The wearing of a dusk mask will give added
protection.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your machine)
to cause complacency. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict severe injury.
