THINK SAFETY! SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF
OPERATOR’S COMMON SENSE, KNOWLEDGE
OF
THE
SAFETY
AND
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES
WHEN THE MITER SAW IS BEING USED.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains
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 and cement and
other masonry products, and
•
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 those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the Bosch GCM18V-08 miter saw to cut fiber cement board.
Cutting materials
containing crystalline silica may create exposures to respirable silica dust.
Additional Safety Rules
DESIGNATED DANGER ZONES
