nology in accordance with recognized safety
rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may
still exist.
• The rotating saw blade can cause injuries to fingers
and hands if the work piece is incorrectly fed.
• Danger to health from wood dusts or wood chips.
• Always wear personal protective equipment such
as eye protection and dust mask.
• Noise can be a health hazard. The permitted noise
level is exceeded when working. Be sure to wear
personal protective gear such as ear protection.
