DUST WARNING

Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause:

•Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmo- nary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal;

•Skin irritation and rash; and

•Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*

*National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer

Take precautionary steps

•Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;

•Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;

•Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection such as dust masks de- signed to filter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)

California Prop 65 Warning:
