WARNING
Explosives and flammable materials,
liquids, and gases: Danger of explosion
If used in explosive atmospheres, the tool
may cause an explosion and/or fire.
Explosions are dangerous and may cause
extremely serious accidents, injuries, or
death. Because the tool often creates
sparks while sawing, it must never be used
near any kind of potentially explosive or
highly flammable material, liquid, or gas.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the
national, state-specific, and local safety
instructions related to working near or
among, explosive materials.
Never use the tool near explosives or
highly flammable materials, liquids, or
gases.
Never work in highly flammable or
explosive atmospheres.
Make sure that your work area has
no hidden gas sources or explosives.
If there are explosives, highly flammable
materials, liquids, or gases at your job
site, make sure that they do not pose
a danger and cannot come into contact
with sparks created by the saw.
