saw and floating dust collection guard system and use them only as instructed.

Warnings

1. Read and understand the instruction manual and all safety warnings before
operating the saw and floating dust collection guard. Failure to follow instructions
or heed warnings may result in electric shock, fire, serious personal injury or
property damage. Save these instructions and refer to them whenever necessary.
2. WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including wood dust,
which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. This exposure can come
from drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products. For more information
go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood. In addition, some types of dust created
by sawing, power sanding, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities also
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products, and arsenic and
chromium from chemically treated lumber. In addition, wood dust has been listed
as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. government. The risk from exposure
to these chemicals and to dust varies depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment including dust masks or respirators designed to filter
out such dust and chemicals.
3. Keep guards in place and in working order. Use the floating dust collection guard
and spreader for every operation for which it can be used, including all-through
sawing. Use a push stick when required.
4. Wear proper apparel when using the saw and floating dust collection guard. Do
not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear a
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
5. Always wear safety glasses when using the saw. Also use a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety glasses.
