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 filtered 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:

• Respiratory diseases (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; and
• Cancer according to NTP and IARC
  *National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer Take precautionary steps
• Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;
• Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;
• 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)

California Prop 65 Warning: 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.
