9. Some dust created by sawing may contain chemicals
knowntocausecancer,birthdefectsorother
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
Leadfromleadbasedpaint.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other
masonryproducts.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Yourriskofexposurevaries,dependingonhowoftenyou
dothistypeofwork.Toreduceyourexposuretothese
chemicals, work in a well‐ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the
influenceofdrugs,alcoholoranymedication.
11. MakecertaintheswitchisintheOFF position before
