DUST WARNING
Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that
comes from the material being cut, which frequently contains
silica.
When dry cutting, be sure to use a HEPA ltered dust collector.
Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount
of such dust can cause:
n Respiratory diseases (a󰀨ecting your ability to breath), including
chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary brosis from exposure
to silica. These diseases may be fatal;
nSkin irritation and rash; and
nCancer according to NTP* and IARC*
*National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research
on Cancer
Take precautionary steps
nAvoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;
nWet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;
nWear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory
protection such as dust masks designed to lter out microscopic
particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)
Use of this product can cause exposure to materials known to the
State of California to cause
cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING
CAUTION
Respirable crystalline silica. May cause cancer.
Causes damage to lungs.
Wear respiratory protection during exposure.
Use appropriate dust control equipment to keep
