(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 06, 2007 ) Wakefield R.I. – Sawdust from table saws can quickly coat a garage or workshop with grime with unsuspecting workers breathing in the filthy sawdust air. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the sawdust generated by these table saws is a known carcinogen. “Table saws have been found to create significant amounts of wood dust. Workers exposed to wood dusts have experienced a variety of adverse health effects such as eye and skin irritation, allergy, reduced lung function, asthma, and nasal cancer. Therefore, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends limiting wood dust exposures to prevent these health problems.”http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hc10.htmlProfessionals and do-it-yourself types can avoid the effects of sucking in sawdust with each breath all day by using the newly-patented Dust Cutter. The high-quality fabric Dust Cutter bag uniquely fastens to the bottom of most contractor and homeowner type table saws. As wood is being cut by a table saw, the Dust Cutter collects 90% of the sawdust. Using a choice of three different operating modes, the Dust Cutter allows table saw operators to collect dust funneling it into the bag container, or extracting it with a shop vacuum.
