are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a lathe, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as
face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
