Cutting my Monkey Lite Bars

So I just received my CT2 Easton Monkey Lite handlebars in the mail today from an ebay seller. I am planning on cutting them pretty short (~1.5in off either side) and I think they are already cut a little bit. Is there anything I should worry about structural wise; like are they going to be less absorbent or easier to crack if I crash with shorter bars? Also are there any other precautions I should take besides wrapping them with a couple layers of masking tape and wearing a face mask, such as spraying down the dust with a spray bottle of water or such? I heard it's bad to breathe or touch the dust particles. Thanks for your opinions and knowledge!
