PREPARING FOR USE

WARNING
NO BYSTANDERS!
You must wear eye protection goggles qualified
to the latest ANSI Standard Z 87. (Z 87 is
stamped on the goggles). These goggles also
must be worn under a face screen if one is
used. A face screen should be worn when there
is a risk from flying debris.
Hearing protection should be worn. (See
"WARNING / DANGER," page 15)
Wear a respirator or dust mask when cutting
concrete, stone, brick or other materials where
fine dust is produced while cutting. Use water
flush to keep down the dust.
Clothing should be made from fabric containing
natural fibers that resist catching fire and do not
melt. The clothing should cover as much skin
area as possible. Clothing should offer freedom
of movement, but should not be too loose or
baggy. Do not wear ties or jewelry.
Wear heavy duty boots with non-slip soles. The
boots should be high enough for shin protection,
or you should wear chaps for shin protection.
Wear non-slip, heavy duty work gloves to
improve your grip on the saw handles. The
gloves also help to reduce the transmission of
machine vibrations to your hands.
Spectators children and fellow workers must be
warned to come no nearer than 9 m (30 feet) while
the saw is in use. Shut off the saw immediately if
some one moves closer to you than 9 m (30 feet).
Persons working in the area near you should wear
the same protective equipment as the saw
operator if endangered by risky flying debris.
