branches and debris ahead of time.
f When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are
free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
f Hold saw firmly with both hands for all cutting
operations. During cutting operations, the blade
may suddenly bind in the work and may cause the saw

Warning! Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
Warning! Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. Always wear certified
safety equipment:
f ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

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:
f lead from lead-based paints,
f crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
f 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.
f Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, 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.
