Walter Meier (Manufacturing), Inc., disclaims
any real or implied warranty and holds itself
harmless from any injury that may result
from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face

9. Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement
and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure 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 face or
dust masks that are specifically designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
