WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and
permanent respiratory disease, illness, or other
bodily injury (for example, silicosis or other
irreversible lung disease that can be fatal, cancer,
birth defects, and/or skin inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by drilling,
breaking, hammering, sawing, grinding and other
construction activities contain substances known to
the State of California and other authorities to
cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of such
substances are:
•
Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to
determine if there is dust or fumes in the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
►
Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.
►
Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
►
Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and
as required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and
if applicable, approved by relevant
governmental authority).
►
Work in a well ventilated area.
►
If the machine has an exhaust, direct the
exhaust so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a
dust filled environment.
►
Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in the operating and safety
instructions
►
Select, maintain and replace consumables/
working tools/ other accessories as
recommended in the operating and safety

medicine.
►
Work with your employer and trade organization
to reduce dust and fume exposure at the
worksite and to reduce the risks. Effective
health and safety programs, policies and
procedures for protecting workers and others
against harmful exposure to dust and fumes
should be established and implemented based
on advice from health and safety experts.
Consult with experts.
►
Residues of hazardous substances on the
machine can be a risk. Before undertaking any
maintenance on the machine, clean it
thoroughly.
DANGER Exhaust gas hazard
The exhaust gas from the machine’s combustion
engine contains carbon monoxide which is
