WARNING FOR USING
TIPPED SAW
Work area safety
1. Ensure the Dust Bag is fixed correctly. Without the
Dust Bag, when Tipped Saw Blades are damaged,
pieces of the blades fly off and can cause serious
personal injury.
2. Keep bystanders away from operations. Even with
the Dust Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris
can fly out of the bag, resulting in serious personal
injury.
3. Sparking may occur when cutting with Tipped Saw
Blades. Do not use the tool where there is the risk
of fire or explosion.
4. Cutting with Tipped Saw Blades is noisy. Consider
the work area environment.
Dress and protective equipment
5. Wear protective equipment; safety glasses, safety
shoes, dust mask and helmet. Even with the Dust
Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris can fly
out of the cover, resulting in personal injury.

knit gloves. Keep hair covered with a hair cover or
a cap to be away from rotating blades.
