!Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface during and after
work.
!Cutting edges and saw blades can become hot during use. Do not
touch.
!Never force the tool to cut faster or through heavier gauge material than
rated capacity.
!To prevent damage to the tool and accessory, accessory must be held
firmly against work surface while cutting.
Workplace Hazards
!Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
!High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing
protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see
29 CFR part 1910).
!Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
!Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration
can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
!Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can
be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory
protective equipment when working with materials which produce
airborne particles.
!Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential
hazards created by your work activity.
!Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
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 filter out microscopic particles.
