Before Using The Saw; When Installing Or Moving The Miter Saw - RIDGID MS1250 Manual Del Operador

Before Using The Saw

WARNING: 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-bases 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 venti-
lated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
