PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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 dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Through-cut – Any cut that completely cuts through the
workpiece.
• Non-through cut – Any cut that does not completely cut
through the workpiece.
• Push stick – A wooden or plastic stick, usually homemade,
that is used to push a small workpiece through the saw and
keeps the operator’s hands clear of the blade.
• Kickback – Occurs when the saw blade binds in the cut or
between the blade and the fence and thrusts the workpiece
back toward the operator or lowering the workpiece down to
the blade.
• Re-sawing – Flipping material to make a cut the saw is not
capable of making in one pass.
• Cove cutting – Also known as coving, cove cutting is an
operation where the work is fed at an angle across the
blade. NOTE: This can be a dangerous operation and is not
recommended.
• Freehand – Cutting without the use of a miter gauge or
rip fence or any other means of guiding or holding the
workpiece other than the operator’s hand. NOTE: This can be
a dangerous operation and is not recommended.
• Plunge cutting – Blind cuts in the workpiece made by
raising the blade through the workpiece. NOTE: This can be a
dangerous operation and is not recommended.
• Rabbet Cut – A cut on the end face (edge) of a board for
the purpose of joining two boards on the same plane. The
protruding edge is called the tongue and the recessed end is
called the groove.
• Kerf – A cut or incision made by a saw.
