• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SAFETY RULES FOR THE USE AND OPERATION OF THE MITER SAW STAND
• Always set up the miter saw stand on a hard, dry, flat, stable surface.
• Be sure that the miter saw stand is fully opened and locked into the proper
set-up position before mounting the miter saw to the tabletop assembly.
• Follow all set-up instructions in this operator's manual.
• Always properly attach the miter saw to the stand. Do not attempt to use
the miter saw stand with the miter saw until the tool is bolted securely to the
tabletop assembly according to the instructions this operator's manual.
• When using this miter saw stand with a miter saw that has mounting holes
that do not line up with the pre-slotted holes in the miter saw stand's tabletop
assembly, mount the power tool to a plywood mounting board (sold separately),
then mount the plywood board and the miter saw to the tabletop assembly.
• Always follow all safety rules and instructions in the operator's manual of
the miter saw when operating a miter saw that is mounted to this stand.
• Always be sure that there is sufficient space around the stand to safely
operate the miter saw when setting up the miter saw stand and the miter saw.
• Always check the miter saw stand and miter saw for damaged parts.
Before further use of the stand or the tool, if any part is damaged, it should
be carefully checked to determine if it will operate properly and perform its
intended function.
• Keep hands away from the cutting area.
• Always use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece, when practical. Using
clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece is safer than using a hand. It also
frees up both hands to operate the miter saw.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause a hand to move into the cutting area of the tool.
• Never reach into the cutting area of a tool.
• Never sit, stand, or climb on this stand. It is not designed or constructed
to accommodate this type of use. It could tip over, causing serious injury.
• Do not store any items above or near the miter saw stand, especially when
it is set-up with a power tool attached, or allow anyone to sit, climb or stand
on the stand.
• Never use this miter saw stand as a ladder or scaffold.
