[. . . ] All of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may Keep work area clean and well lit. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your tool. [. . . ] Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. Accidental contact with the spinning saw blade could result in serious personal injury. Periodically remove the blade, clean the upper, lower guards and the hub area with kerosene and wipe it dry, or blow it clean with compressed air. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Raise the lower guard only with the Lower Guard Lift Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "Plunge Cuts" Some dust created by Grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 chemicallytreated 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. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer.
