Warning!
Use of this product to cut masonry,
concrete, metal and other materials can
generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause
serious or fatal injury or illness, such as
respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with
the particular material being cut, review
the material safety data sheet and or
consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental
agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH
and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the
source where possible. In this regard
use good work practices and follow the
recommendations of the manufacturer/
supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and
occupational and trade associations. A
water attachment kit is available for your
cut-off machine and should be used for
dust suppression when wet cutting is
feasible. When the inhalation of dust,
mists and fumes from the cutting
process cannot be eliminated, the
operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.

Warning!
Cutting masonry, concrete and other
materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust 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 sub-
stance known to cause cancer. When
cutting such materials, always follow the
respiratory precautions mentioned
above.

Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protection
Agency. Do not use your cutting-off
machine to cut or disturb asbestos,
asbestos-containing products, or pro-
ducts such as pipes which are wrapped
or covered with asbestos insulation. If
you have any reason to believe that you
might be cutting asbestos, immediately
contact your employer or a local OSHA
representative.
