Other risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, dangers may still present themselves
when the machine is operated, e.g.:
– Workpiece parts being thrown off,
– Parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
– Noise emissions,
– Dust emissions.
Health hazard by dust
Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other con-
struction activities contains chemicals known (to
the State of California) to cause cancer, birth de-
fects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
The 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 equip-
ment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
USER MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
