Service Safety - Craftsman 172.24360 Owner's Manual

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MITER SAWS cont.
Z_ WARNING:
Some dust partlcles created by power sanding,
sawing, grlndlng, drilllng and other construction jobs contain
chemlcals 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 and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Z_ WARNING: The operation of any saw can
result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning power tool operation, ALWAYS wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shield
and a full face shield when needed. We recommend
a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses
or standard safety glasses with side shield, both available
at Sears Retail Stores.
SERVICE SAFETY
1. If any part of this miter saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in
any way; or should any electrical component fail to perform properly:
ALWAYS shut off the power switch and remove the miter saw plug from
the power source and have the missing, damaged or failed parts
replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
2.Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Service Center. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
3.When servicing a tool, ALWAYS use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
