Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which
frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other
minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause:
•
Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and
pulmonary fi brosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal;
•
Skin irritation and rash; and
•
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*
* National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer
Take precautionary steps
•
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;
•
Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;
•
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection such as dust masks
designed to fi lter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)
Use of this product can cause exposure to materials known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Use Low Sulfur Diesel (0.05% or 500 ppm) or Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (0.0015% or 15ppm)
Biodiesel While ≤ 5% blends (B5) are preferred, biodiesel concentrations up to a 20% blend (B20) in petroleum
diesel fuel can be used in all John Deere engines. Biodiesel blends up to B20 can be used ONLY if the biodiesel
(100% biodiesel or B100) meets ASTM D6751 (US), EN 14214 (EU), or equivalent specifi cation. Expect a 2%
reduction in power and a 3% reduction in fuel economy when using B20.
