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 brosis 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 lter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)
