Health Hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex- amples of these chemicals are:

*Lead from lead-based paint.

*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, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:

!CAUTION: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate injury and/or possible machine damage)

!WARNING: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it could result in serious injury or possibly even death).
