THIS SAW IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITHOUT A CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
THE DIESEL ENGINE PRODUCES CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST EMISSIONS AND IS NOT SAFE
FOR USE IN ENCLOSED AREAS. USE OF A CATALYTIC CONVERTER REDUCES THE CARBON MONOXIDE
EXHAUST EMISSIONS, BUT STILL IS NOT SAFE FOR USE IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. WORKSITE AIR QUALITY MUST COMPLY WITH
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000 PER TABLE Z-1, LIMITS FOR AIR CONTAMINANTS.
MONITOR WORKSPACE AIR QUALITY TO INSURE COMPLIANCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WILL RESULT IN DANGER TO LIFE AND CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY OR DEATH.
Carbon monoxide (CO) has the distinction of being one of the few commonly encountered industrial gasses that is
both highly toxic (poison) and odorless. When inhaled, CO acts as a chemical asphyxiant by preferentially combining with
hemoglobin in the blood stream. As a result, the hemoglobin is not able to transport its normal amount of oxygen,
which results in under-oxygenation of tissues. Symptoms of low-level CO exposure include headaches, dizziness,
confusion, and nausea. However,  loss  of  consciousness,  permanent  injury  and  death  may  result  from   
continued  or  more  intense  exposure.  Because of the health hazards associated with CO inhalation, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have imposed personal exposure limits. The OSHA exposure
limits, which are specified in the 29 CFR 1910.1000 (1998 Revision), allow for a 200 PPM Ceiling Limit and a TWA
of 35 PPM per 8-hour shift/40-hr workweek. It is strongly recommended that the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000 (Code
of Federal Regulations) be consulted for more information on exposure limits for various hazardous materials. If CO
Poisoning is suspected immediately remove the victim to fresh air and obtain emergency medical attention.
THIS SAW IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITHOUT A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. It is important to be aware
that saws with catalytic converters reduce CO and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. The exhaust still contains CO. If the
workspace is too confined or under-ventilated, CO may accumulate until it eventually exceeds OSHA limits. When
this happens, action must be taken to remove workers from areas of high concentration. Operators and work area
supervisors should take precautions to insure adequate ventilation of the workspace at all times. Carbon monoxide
detection monitors should be used to determine that adequate ventilation exists.
