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.

for the best and safest performance. Always follow the maintenance instructions for sharpening the
blade, lubricating and servicing the saw.
