Additional Safety Rules

12. THINK SAFETY

SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE TABLE SAW IS BEING USED.

! WARNING	Do not allow familiarity (gained from fre-
	quent use of your table saw) to become

commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being

thrown into the eyes,

which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before

commencing power tool operation.

Some dust created by power sanding, ! WARNING 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.
