TRACK RAIL SAW SAFETY

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE

SILICA DUST WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition

may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz,

brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of

airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In ad-

dition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance

known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.

Use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protection where dust hazard may occur. Paper masks

or surgical masks without a NIOSH approval number are not recommended because they do little to

protect the worker. For more information about respirator programs, including what respirators have

received NIOSH approval as safe and effective, please visit the NIOSH website at:

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/respirators

Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 C.F.R.§1910.134).

Visit http://www.osha.gov for more information.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-

tain 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-based paints

•Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products

•Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

For further information, consult the following sources:

http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/96-112/

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html

http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html

http://www.P65warnings.ca.gov

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 dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles. Where

use of a dust extraction device is possible, it should be used. To achieve a high level of dust collec-

tion, use an industrial HEPA vacuum cleaner. Observe OSHA 29 CFR part 1926.57 and 1926.103.

TRACK RAIL SAW SAFETY

WARNING

In order to prevent electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols

should be followed at all times!

If permanently connected this tool should be connected to a grounded metal permanent

wiring system; or to a system having an equipment - grounding conductor.

In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord which has an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• DO NOT modify the plug provided - if it will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet

installed by a qualied electrician.

• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer

surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric

cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live

terminal.

• Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles

that accept the tool’s plug.

• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A.

The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter,

which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a

2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary

adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electri-

cian. The green-colored rigid ear, plug, and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected

to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
