TREATED
SUBSTANCES.
A
WARNING
Some types of wood dust (e.g.
maple, oak, cedar) may cause
allergic reactions and other health
problems such as skin rashes, etc.
If possible, work with a suitable
dust collector connected to the
saw. The dust collector must com-
ply with the data stated in chapter
15, entitled "Technical Specifica-
tions".
Dust generated by sawing, sand-
ing, drilling and similar work may
contain substances that are known
or suspected to cause cancer,
damage to reproductive organs
and/or the ability to procreate, and/
or may cause damage to fetuses
and unborn children. Lead, lead
paint, arsenic or chromium treated
wood (often referred to as "green
wood" or pressure-treated lumber)
and quartz dust or silica from con-
crete are just some, but in no case
an exclusive list of such sub-
stances. The actual health risk
depends on the length of exposure
to these substances, the circum-
stances as well as the degree of
respiratory and other protection
used.
