(a) All saws must be equipped with a spark-arresting device constructed to retain or destroy 90 percent or more of the carbon particles having a major diameter greater than 0.023 inches (0.584 mm). A spark-arresting device equipped with a woven screen with a maximum opening size of 0.023 inches (0.584 mm), constructed of heat- and corrosion-resistant wire at least 0.013 inches (0.330 mm) in diameter, will be considered in compliance with the requirement if the total screen opening area is not less than 125 percent of the engine exhaust-port area. The unit must be constructed to permit easy removal of the screen for field inspection, replacement, and cleaning.

(b) The commissioner will, in his discretion, in writing, modify or waive any requirement of this section if he finds that conditions so warrant. The commissioner will take into consideration factors including, but not limited to, the type, size, and location of the operation and type of equipment in use, in making his decision.
