As with all machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the use of this panel saw. Use the machine with the respect and caution demanded where safety precautions are concerned. When normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator can result.

1.Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation. Know the limitations and hazards associated with this machine.

2.Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3.Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4.This panel saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a panel saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5.Do not use this panel saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6.Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this panel saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7.Before operating this panel saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Protective type footwear should be used. Anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8.Where the noise exceeds the level of exposure allowed in Section 1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations, use hearing protective devices.

9.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint.

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
