--SILICA DUST WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition my give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite
and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
Use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protection where dust hazard may occur. Paper masks or surgical masks without a NIOSH approval number are not recommended because they do little to protect the worker. For more information about respirator programs, including what respirators have received NIOSH
approval as safe and effective, please visit the NIOSH website at:
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/respirators

Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 C:F.R. § 1910.134).

California proposition 65 message

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals know (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

-Arsenic and chromium, 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Where use of a dust extraction
device is possible, it should be used. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use an industrial HEPA
vacuum cleaner. Observe OSHA 29 CFR part 1926.57 and 1926.103.
