W ARNING! Cutting, especially when DRY
cutting, generates dust that comes from
the material being cut, which frequently
contains silica. 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:
Respiratory disease (affecting your ability
to breath), including chronic bronchitis,
silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from
exposure to silica.These diseases may be
fatal;
Skin irritation and rash.
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*
*/ National Toxicology Program,
International Agency for Resaearch on
Cancer
Take precautionary steps:
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with
dust, mist and fumes.
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear
appropriate respiratory protection such
as dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR
Part 1910.1200)
To minimize dust emissions, wet cut
when feasible. If dry cutting is necessary,
use the Vac unit.
