• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically 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 ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Use the flooring saw in a well lit area and on a level surface,
clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and falls.
Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is
forced to stand in line with the blade.
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A “KICKBACK” occurs
when a part of the workpiece binds between the sawblade and
the rip fence or other fixed object. Workpiece binding the
blade due to misalignment, can also cause kickback. During
kickback, workpiece rises from table and is thrown toward the
operator. Keep your face and body to one side of the
sawblade, out of line with a possible “KICKBACK”.

- Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the sawblade.
.Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replacing or sharpening anti-
kickback pawls when points become dull.
/Keeping sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback pawls
in place and operating properly. The spreader must
be in alignment with the sawblade and the pawls must stop
a kickback once it has started. Check their action before
ripping.
0NOT ripping workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
1NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all the way
past the sawblade.
