24.DO NOT OPERATE the toot if you are under the
influence of any drugs, afcohol or medication that
could affect your ability to use the tool properiy.
25.ALWAYS operate the band saw in a welFventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal, Use dust
collection systems whenever possibIe. Dust
generated from certain materials can be hazardous to
your heatth,
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BAND SAWS
1.
TO AVOID iNJURY from unexpected movement,
make sure the saw is on a firm, level surface,
properly secured to prevent rocking, Make sure there
is adequate space for operaling. Bolt the saw to a
support surface to prevent slipping, walking, or
sliding during operation.
2. TURN the saw OFF and unplug the saw before
moving it.
3. USE THE CORRECT size and sue of blade.
4, USE blades rated at 2480 FPM or greater.
5. MAKE SURE the blade teeth point down and
towards the table.
6.
BLADE GUIDES, SUPPORT BEARINGS, AND
BLADE TENSION must be propedy adjusted to
avoid accidental blade contact and to minimize blade
breakage. 7o maximize blade support, always adjust
the upper blacie guide and blade guard so that it is
I/8 inch above the wed<piece.
7. TABLE LOCK HANDLE should be tight.
8. USE EXTRA CAUTION with large, very small or
awkward workpieces.
9. USE EXTRA SUPPORTS to prevent workpieces
from sliding off the table top. Never use another
person to supper1 the workpiece.
10. WORKPECES must be secured so they don't twist,
rock or slip whiie being cut.
11. PLAN intricate and small work carefully to avoid
pinching the blade, Avoid awkward operation and
hand positions to prevent accidental contact with the
blade.

I7.
SMALL PIECES should be secured with jigs or
fixtures. Do not hand hold pieces that are so small
your fingers are under the blade guard.
SUPPORT round work properly (with a V_block or
clamped to the miter gauge) 1oprevent it from rolling
and the blade from biting.
CUT only one workpiece at a time. Make sure the
table is clear of everything except the workpiece and
its guides before you turn the saw on.
ALWAYS WATCH the saw run before each use, If
[here is excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop
immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug it
immediately. Do not start the saw again until the
)roblem has been located and corrected.
TO FREE any jammed material, turn the switch OFF.
Remove the switch key and unptug the saw, Wait for
all moving parts to stop before removing jammed
material.
DON'T LEAVE the work area until all moving parts
are stopped. To child-proof the workshop, shut OFF:
the power to master switches and remove the switch
key from the band saw. Stere it in a safe place, away
from children,
For your own safety, read the entire instruction manual
before operating the band saw.
1, Wear eye protection.
2. Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
3. Make sure the saw is on a firm level surface and
properly secured.
4. USE ONLY THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
5. Use extra caution with very large, very small, or
awkward workpieces.
6. Keep hands away from the blade at ati times to
prevent accidental injury,
7. Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until rise blade
has stopped.
8. Maintain proper adjustment of Made tension, blade
guides and thrusi bearings.
9, Adiust upper guide to just clear the werkpiece,
t0. Hold the werkpiece firmly against the table,
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
iN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a pallq of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
efectric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug, The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching receptacle that is property installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordk_ances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it wilt not fit
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
quatifiecl electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green insulation (with or without yeilow
stripes) is timeequipment-grounding conductor, if repair
or reptacemenl of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor io
a five terminal
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENS{ON CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
iMMEDIATELY.
GU_DEUNES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw, An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and cause overheating. The table below shows
timecorrect size to use depending on cord Iength and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is property wired and in
good condition, Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it_ Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
as the current stamped on Ihe motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage wilt damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure A,
Figure A shows a %prong electrical plug and receptacle
[hat has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is no[ available, an adapter (Figure B) can be
used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
grounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should be
useci only until a properly grounded receptacle can be
installed by a quafified technician. The adapter (Figure B)
has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected
to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly
grouncted receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code
prohibits the use of the adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check Ihe receptacle.
This tool is for indoor use only_ Do not expose to rain or
use in damp locations.
