1. Some dust created by using power tools
contains chemicals known 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, 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 those dust masks that are specially
designedtolteroutmicroscopicparticles.
