Safety Instructions For Band Saw

Safety Signal Words

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert

and knowing how your table saw works. Read this man-

ual to understand this table saw.

DANGER: means if the safety information is not followed

someone will be seriously injured or killed.

WARNING: means if the safety information is not followed

someone could be seriously injured or killed.

CAUTION: means if the safety information is not followed

someone may be injured.

Before Using The Saw

WARNING: 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-bases 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 spe-

cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
