IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:

●

●

●

lead from lead-based paints

crystalline silica from bricks and 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, always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of of personal injury.
