WARNiNG! Some dust created by power 
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and 

other construction activities contains 
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth 
defects or other reproductive harm. 

Some 

examples of these chemicals are:

a)  lead from lead-based paint
b)  crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other 

masonry products

c)  arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated 

lumber

your risk to these exposures varies, depending on 

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your 
exposure to these chemicals:

a)  work in a well ventilated area
b)  work with approved safety equipment, such as 

those dust masks that are specifically 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.

WARNiNG:

 use of this tool can generate and/

or disburse 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.
