SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:
– Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
Asbestos dust
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 specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
WARNING
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well-ventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to them frequently.
• Use to instruct others who may use the tool.
• If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
MAKING A PUSH STICK
In order to operate your table saw safely, you must use a push stick whenever the size or shape of
the workpiece would otherwise cause your hands to be within 6 in. (152 mm) of the saw blade or
other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.
No special wood is needed to make additional push-sticks as long as they are sturdy and long
enough. A length of 16 in. (400 mm) is recommended with a notch that ts against the edge of the
workpiece to prevent slipping. It’s a good idea to have several push sticks of the same length
[16 in. (400 mm)] with di󰀨erent size notches for di󰀨erent workpiece thicknesses.
The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as it performs its intended function of keeping
your hands away from the blade. Angling the notch so the push stick can be held at a 20-30 degree
angle from the saw’s table will help you to hold down the workpiece while also moving it through the
saw. See push stick enclosed with your saw.
