19. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro
ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paint
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other ma-
sonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
20. Your risk from those 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 specifi cally designed to fi lter out microscopic
particles.
General Electrical Cautions:
This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work
should be done by a qualifi ed electrician. The saw should be
grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.
Wire sizes: Caution: for circuits which are far away from the
electrical service box, the wire size must be increased in order
to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power
losses and to prevent motor overheating and burnout, the use
of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords
according to the following table is recommended:
Conductor
Length
AWG (American wire gauge) number
240 volt lines 120 volt lines
0-50 feet 50-100
feet Over 100
feet No. 14 No. 14

Safety Instructions for Sawing Machines
1. Always wear leather gloves when handling a saw blade.
The operator shall not wear gloves when operating the
machine.
2. All doors shall be closed, all panels replaced, and all other
safety guards in place prior to the machine being started or
operated.
3. Be sure that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece
when the motor is started. The motor shall be started and
you should allow the saw to come to full speed before
bringing the workpiece into the saw blade.
4. Keep hands away from the blade area. See fi gure A.
5. Remove any cut off piece carefully while keeping your
hands free from the blade area.
6. Saw must be stopped and electrical supply must be cut off
before any blade replacement or adjustment of blade
support mechanism is done, or before any attempt is made
to change the drive belts or before any periodic service or
maintenance is performed on the saw.
7. Remove all loose items and any unnecessary work pieces
from the area before starting machine.
8. Bring adjustable saw guides and guards as close as poss-
ible to the work piece.
9. Always wear protective eye wear when operating, servic
ing or adjusting machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields com-
plying with ANSI Z87.1 specifi cations. Use of eye wear
which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifi cations
could result in severe injury from breakage of eye protec-
tion. See fi gure B.
10. Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recommended. See
Figure C.
11. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended
periods of operation. See fi gure D.
12. The workpiece, or part being sawed, must be securely
clamped before the saw blade enters it.
13. Remove cut off pieces carefully, keeping hands away from
saw
blade.
14. Saw must be stopped and electrical supply cut off or ma-
chine unplugged before reaching into cutting area.
15. Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding your eyes.
