USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER
AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE
SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and
body. Always operate tool in a well ventilated area and provide for
proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible.
Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with
the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your
