● Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent
use of your miter saw to become common-

tion of a second is sufficient to inflict severe
injury.

OF OPERATOR’S COMMON SENSE, KNOWL-
EDGE OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS AND ALERTNESS AT ALL
TIMES WHEN THE MITER SAW IS BEING

THE WARNINGS SHOWN

NEEDED FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THIS MITER
SAW.
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.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.
RETURN GUARD TO OPERATING
POSITION AFTER CHANGING THE BLADE.
IF GUARD FAILS TO WORK SMOOTHLY, STOP
SAWING AND SERVICE IT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
