Yes, but wear a mask, the dust is very fine and there are clouds of it.
It is suggested that you wear a respirator (ranges from $7-$30 at most home improvement stores) and that you have a well ventilated area. Urea formaldehyde is one of the compounds that exists in the resin that is used to bind the material together.
"Formaldehyde resins are commonly used to bind MDF together, and testing has consistently revealed that MDF products emit urea formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds that pose health risks at sufficient concentrations, for at least several months after manufacture. Urea formaldehyde is always being slowly released from the surface of MDF. When painting it is good idea to coat the whole of the product in order to seal in the urea formaldehyde. Wax and oil finishes may be used as finishes but they are less effective at sealing in the urea formaldehyde."
