Safety Rules
PERSONAL SAFETY
Always wear protective clothing.
At a minimum always wear eye protection and/or face shield, hearing protection,
long sleeve shirt, long pants, closed toe shoes with non-slip soles, and gloves. In
many work situations, a hard hat and steel toed shoes may also be required. Avoid
loose fitting clothing.
This saw can generate hazardous dust and vapors.
Determine the nature of the material you are going to cut before proceeding with
the job. Be especially aware of cutting materials containing silica and asbestos
as inhaling dust can result in respiratory disease. Be sure to use appropriate
respiratory protection designed to filter out microscopic particles. Be sure to use
adequate water pressure.
Over-exposure to vibration can lead to circulatory and/or nerve damage to the
extremities, especially in cold temperatures (Reynaud’s Disease).
If you experience tingling, numbness, pain or changes in skin color, particularly in
your fingers, hands or wrists, stop using the saw immediately. If the problem
persists, seek medical attention.
Following are the basic instructions to assure personal safety.
WARNING
Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment.
Always wear approved hearing protection.
This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation.
This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical

before operating this machine.
