1. When cutting magnesium, use soluble oils or emulsions (oil/water mix) as water only will greatly intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant supplier for specific coolant recommendations when cutting magnesium.

19.Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

20.Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

21.Use the Vise or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to the Support Plate. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control, and personal injury.

22.This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

23.The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

24.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.

Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:

Avoid operating alone.

Do not use with power switch locked on.

Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

2. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains 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 or other masonry products 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. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
