Warning!
Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or
pollen, can cause
susceptible persons to
have an allergic or
asthmatic reaction. Substantial or
repeated inhalation of dust and other
airborne contaminants, in particular
those with a smaller particle size, may
cause respiratory or other illnesses.
Control dust at the source where
possible. Use good work practices, such
as operating the unit so that the wind or
operating process directs any dust
raised by the power tool away from the
operator. Follow the recommendations
of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
dust ("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be substantially
controlled, i.e., kept at or near the
ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.

commercial substance, review,
understand and follow all warnings and
instructions contained in the material
safety data sheet for that substance and/
or consult the material manufacturer/
supplier. The state of California and
some other authorities, for instance,
have published lists of substances
known to cause cancer, reproductive
toxicity, etc.

Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protection
Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or
otherwise disturbing asbestos,
immediately contact your employer or a
local OSHA representative.

Warning!
Dust with silica in its composition may
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a basic
component of sand, quartz, brick, clay,
granite and numerous other minerals
and rocks, including masonry and con-
crete products. Repeated and / or sub-
stantial inhalation of airborne crystalline
silica can cause serious or fatal respira-
tory disease, including silicosis. In addi-
tion, the state of California and some
other authorities have listed respirable
crystalline silica as a substance known
to cause cancer. When encountering
such materials, always follow the re-
spiratory precautions mentioned above.
