Safety
Warnings
A table saw is a dangerous tool and there are hazards inherent with using your saw.
Some of these hazards are discussed below. Use common sense when operating the
saw and floating dust collection guard system and use them only as instructed.
You are responsible for your own safety!
1. Read and understand the instruction manual and all safety warnings before
operating the saw and floating dust collection guard. Failure to follow instructions
or heed warnings may result in electric shock, fire, serious personal injury or
property damage. Save these instructions and refer to them whenever necessary.
2. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition,
some types of dust created by sawing, power sanding, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities also contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are lead from lead-
based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. In addition, wood dust
has been listed as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. government. The risk
from exposure to these chemicals and to dust varies depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment including dust masks or respirators designed
to filter out such dust and chemicals.
3. Keep guards in place and in working order. Use the floating dust collection guard
and spreader for every operation for which it can be used, including all-through
sawing. Use a push stick when required.
4. Wear proper apparel when using the saw and floating dust collection guard. Do
not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear a
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
5. Always wear safety glasses when using the saw. Also use a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety glasses.
6. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade. Never reach around or over the saw
blade. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
