Proposition 65 Warning; Miter Saw Safety Rules - Delta 26-2250 Mode D'emploi

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tools bits etc. In accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep Handels and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
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
• 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 specifically
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Safety instructions for miter saws
a. Miter saw are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off
wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc
the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workplace by hand, you must
always keep your hand at least 100mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut
pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw
blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c. The workplace must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed
the workplace into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving workplace could be thrown
at high speeds, causing injury.
d. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. to make a cut, raise
the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head
down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to
climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
e. Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or
vice versa is very dangerous.
f. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100mm from either side of the saw blade, to
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw
blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped,clamp it with the outside
bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence
and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
h. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small
debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may
bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j. Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work
surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.
