WARNING
As soon as the engine is
running, this machine
generates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon
monoxide, that are
known to cause respira-
tory problems, cancer,
birth defects, or other
reproductive harm, and
other injuries. Some of
the gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless and
can cause asphyxiation
and death very quickly.
To reduce the risk of seri-
ous or fatal injury/illness
from inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the machine
indoors or in poorly venti-
lated locations. Ensure
proper ventilation when
working in trenches or
other confined areas.
WARNING
Use of this product to cut masonry,
concrete, metal and other materials can
generate dust and fumes containing
chemicals known to cause serious or
fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory
disease, kidney disease, cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and
other injuries. If you are unfamiliar with
the risks associated with the material
being cut, review the applicable material
safety data sheet and/or consult your
employer, the material
TS 700, TS 800
manufacturer/supplier, governmental
agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH
and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, and other
injuries. Control dust and fumes at the
source where possible.
In this regard, use engineering controls,
good work practices and follow the
recommendations of the material
manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH,
and occupational and trade
associations.
WARNING
Cutting masonry, concrete and other
materials with silica in their composition
may produce dust containing crystalline
silica. Silica is a basic component of
sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks.
Inhalation of airborne crystalline silica
can cause serious or fatal injury or
illness, such as kidney disease and
respiratory diseases, including silicosis
and lung cancer. California and some
other authorities have listed respirable
crystalline silica as a substance known
to cause cancer. OSHA has established
a maximum permissible exposure limit
for crystalline silica. When cutting
materials that may contain crystalline
silica, always follow the recommended
engineering controls and respiratory
precautions described in this instruction
manual.
WARNING
A water attachment kit is
provided with your cut-off
machine and should be
used to reduce dust
whenever wet cutting is
feasible. To reduce the
risk of serious or perma-
nent injury to the operator
or any bystanders from
exposure to potentially
harmful dust, the water
flow rate to the abrasive
wheel should be at least
20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) per
minute.
WARNING
Inhalation of airborne crystalline silica
can cause serious or fatal injury or
illness, such as kidney disease and
respiratory diseases, including silicosis
and lung cancer. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal illness, including kidney
disease, respiratory disease and
cancer, the operator and any bystanders
should always wear a respirator that is
approved by NIOSH for the material
being cut and appropriate for worksite-
specific conditions if wet cutting at the
flow rate recommended in this
instruction manual is not utilized or
cannot be confirmed. The respirator
must have an Assigned Protection
Factor sufficient to provide the level of
respiratory protection needed for the
material being cut and worksite-specific
conditions.
Even if wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate, an operator who is working
with the machine for more than two
