!WARNING

Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

●Lead from lead-based paints

●Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products

●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 dust masks that are specially designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.
