• Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.
• Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the base.
• DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades
with this tool. Serious injury may result.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS,
GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting or arcing
motor brushes may ignite combustible materials.
• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder.
This will substantially weaken the wheel creating an unsafe condi-

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, 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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, saw-
ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin
may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropri-
ate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eye-
glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
