Page 8: California Proposition 65 Message
MK-377 SAW SAFETY SILICA DUST WARNING Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. - Page 9 MK-377 SAW SAFETY WARNING To avoid the possibility of the appliance or plug receptacle getting wet, position the machine to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping into the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop," shown in the picture below, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source.
- Page 10 MK-377 SAW SAFETY ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY For maintenance care and operation of the electric motor, refer to your electric motor instruction book- let furnished with the electric motor. Protect the electric motor from dust as much as possible and keep ventilating openings clean.
- Page 11 MK-377 SAW SAFETY WARNING The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the recep- tacle, or the connector, if an extension cord is used. This method of positioning the cord prevents the travel of water along the power cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
