Sawing and drilling generates dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.

To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the material being sawed or drilled;

See OSHA (29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous. Comply with American National

Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges,

Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules, Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals

known [to the State of California] 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

For further information, consult the following sources:

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.

Never touch electrical wires or components while the motor is running. Exposed, frayed or worn electrical motor

wiring can be sources of electrical shock that could cause severe injury or burns.

Before plugging the equipment into an electrical outlet, be sure the trigger switch, locking button is in the

“RELEASE” position to prevent accidental starting. Unplug the power tool before performing any service operation.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate a power tool with

covers, shrouds, or guards removed.
