• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
A WARNING:
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 examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromMm 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 specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged
contact
with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
i_,WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent

respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
