Personal Safety Instructions
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemi-
cals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-bases paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ven-
tilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
1. Wear safety goggles labeled ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) on the pack-
age. It means the goggles meet impact stan-
dards set by the American National
Standards Institute. Regular eyeglasses are
not safety goggles.
2. Wear close fitting clothes, short sleeved
shirts, and non-slip shoes. Tie up long hair.
Do not wear gloves, ties, jewelry, loose cloth-
ing, or long sleeves. These can get caught in
the spinning blade and pull body parts into
the blade.
3. Wear dust mask to keep from inhaling
fine particles.
4. Wear ear protectors, plugs or muffs if you
use saw daily.
5. Keep good footing and balance; do not
over-reach.
Work Area Safety Instructions
1. Keep children, pets, and visitors out of
work area; they could be hit by a thrown
workpiece, workpiece chips or pieces of
blade.

2. Turn saw off, remove yellow key, and
unplug before leaving work area. Do not
leave until blade has stopped spinning.
3. Make work area child-proof: remove yel-
low key to prevent accidental start-up; store
key out of sight and reach; lock work area.
4. Keep floors clean and free of sawdust,
wax and other slippery materials.
5. Keep work area well lighted and unclut-
tered.
6. Use saw only in dry area. Do not use in
wet or damp areas.
