Things as may be thought to make unpleasant 'dusts' may also
be cut outside with Water running over them.
Some respects may be paid to the Water being kept out of the
Armatures or 'on-off' switches of one's Saw or what, to
lessen possible electrical surprises.

...or with a wet tile saw - set the saw so it just penetrates the
material and rotate around a center pivot to make a round bat - yes, it
works. Or with a large sponge dripping water on the cut made by a sabre
saw. This is a manageable hazard. And the modern boards do not contain
asbestos, so the silica dust is what you must control.
