W WA AR RN NI IN NG G: : 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-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 equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

This action ensures the flat surface of the shoe is against the workpiece for better cut- ting action and easier control of the saw. The shoe can be adjusted in or out, allowing the use of the blade teeth at different points of the blade. This will provide longer blade life as one section of the blade becomes dull. 910 6 3 45 7 1 2 8 BLADE CLAMP

This will prolong the life of the blade as well as speeding up the cutting process. • Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces, such as pipe or conduit, in a vise or attach to the workbench with clamps. • To eliminate vibration, always cut close to the clamping point. • When cutting thin sheets of metal, place a piece of plywood on either side to control vibration and prevent tearing.
