electrical motor wiring can be sources of electrical shock that could cause severe injury or burns.
ACCIDENTAL STARTS!
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the saw.

power tool with covers, shrouds, or guards removed.
Sawing and drilling generates dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the
material being sawed or drilled; See OSHA (29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are
dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety
and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges, Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules,
Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain
chemicals known [to the State of California] 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 on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
