Manufactured in Vietnam
Danger of serious health damage by prolonged exposure through inhalation. (R 20/48).
Exposure limits may be applicable when cutting or grinding product creating dust, which
can contain particles of crystalline silica (quartz). Overexposure to airborne quartz particles
can cause silicosis.
Danger: Do not breathe dust (522). Wear suitable respiratory equipment when ventilation
insufficient (538).
