WARNING:USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR

OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST

AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a

well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system

wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory

or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid

breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into

your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.

Always use properly ﬁtting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate

for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
