￭ Use of this trimmer / brushcutter can generate dust and
other substances containing chemicals known to cause
respiratory problems, cancer, birth defects and other
reproductive harm.

CCOHS and PHAC and other authoritative sources
on hazardous materials if you are unfamiliar with the
risks associated with the particular substances you
are cutting or with which you are working.
￭ Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such
as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have

directs any dust, mist or other particulate matter
raised by the trimmer / brushcutter away from the
operator.

wear a respirator that is approved by PHAC and
rated for worksite-specific conditions. Follow the
recommendations of governmental authorities (e.g.,
CCOHS/PHAC) and occupational and trade
associations.
￭ If the vegetation being cut or the surrounding ground is
coated with a chemical substance, such as a pesticide or
