CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
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. Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
ATTENTION:
Use of this machine still presents
risks that cannot be eliminated by the
manufacturer. Therefore, the user must be
aware that wood working machines are
dangerous if not used with care and all safety
precautions are adhered to.
