WARNING: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 skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always
use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust
exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
