A WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,sawing, grindin
drilling,and otherconstruction activitiescontains chemicals
known tocause cancer, birthdefects 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 theseexposures varies,depending onhow
often youdo this type of work. To reduce your exposureto
these chemicals: work in a wellventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter outmicroscopic
particles.
Firmly bolt your saw to a workbench or table. The
mostcomfortable height is approximately39"(1 m), or
hipheight.
Always secure work firmlyagainst rip fence or miter
gauge.
Always use blade guard, riving knife, and anti-
kickback pawls on all "through-sawing"operations.
Through-sawingoperationsarethoseinwhichthe blade
cutscompletely throughthe workpiece as in rippingor
cross-cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-
kickback pawlsdown, and the riving knife in place over
the blade.

Always use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. A
pushstickisa deviceusedto pusha workpiecethrough
the blade insteadof usingyour hands.Size and shape
can vary but the pushstick must always be narrower
than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from
contactingthe saw blade. When rippingnarrow stock,
always use a push stickso your hand does not come
closetothesaw blade. Usea pushblockorfeatherboard
for non-throughcuts.
