Warning!
Use of this product can generate dust,
mists, and fumes containing chemicals
known to cause respiratory disease,
cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-
tive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the
risks associated with the particular dust,
mists or fumes at issue, consult your
employer, governmental agencies such
as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources
on hazardous materials. If the substance
being blown or vacuumed is a commer-
cial substance, review the material
safety data sheet for that substance and
/ or consult the material manufacturer /
supplier. The state of 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 OSHA / NIOSH
and occupational and trade associa-
tions. When the inhalation of toxic dust,
mists and fumes cannot be eliminated,
the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH / MSHA for the substance at
issue.

Dust with silica in its composition may
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a basic
component of sand, quartz, brick, clay,
granite and numerous other minerals
and rocks, including masonry and con-
crete products.
Repeated and / or sub-stantial inhalation
of airborne crystalline silica can cause
serious or fatal respira-tory disease,
including silicosis. In addi-tion, the state
of California and some other authorities
have listed respirable crystalline silica as
a substance known to cause cancer.
When encountering such materials,
always follow the re-spiratory
precautions mentioned above.

Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury, re-
spiratory illness or cancer. The use and
disposal of asbestos containing products
have been strictly regulated by OSHA
and the Environmental Protection
Agency. Do not blow or disturb asbestos
or asbestos containing products, such
as asbestos insulation. If you have any
reason to believe that you might be
disturbing asbestos, immediately contact
your employer or a local OSHA
representative.
