WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind- ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from
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 venti- lated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
