GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are

tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position before

connecting to power source and/or battery

pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your nger on the

switch or energizing power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool

may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become complacent

and ignore tool safety principles. A careless

action can cause severe injury within a fraction

of a second.

-4-

Power Tool Use and Care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tool’s operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier

to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and

tool 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.

Keep handles 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.

Battery Tool Use and Care

Recharge only with the charger specied by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of re

when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury

and re.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other

small metal objects, that can make a

connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a re.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, ush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modied. Damaged or modied

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour

resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to

re or excessive temperature. Exposure to

re or temperature above 130 °C may cause

explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the battery pack or tool outside

the temperature range specied in the

instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specied range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a

qualied repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Never service damaged battery packs.

Service of battery packs should only be

performed by the manufacturer or authorized

service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BAND SAW

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring. Cutting accessories contacting

a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts

of the power tool “live” and could give the

operator an electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

• Keep hands away from cutting area

and blade. Keep your other hand on the

front handle. If both hands are holding the

saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

• Secure the workpiece. Clamping devices or

a vise will hold the workpiece in place better

than the hand.

• Always wait until the blade has come to

a complete stop before placing the tool

down. The blade can jam and lead to loss of

control over the power tool.

• 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, cement, and

other masonry products.

– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending upon how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals:

– Work in a well-ventilated area.

– Work with approved safety equipment, such

as dust masks that are specially designed to

lter out microscopic particles.

– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities. Wear protective clothing

and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or

to lie on the skin may promote absorption of

harmful chemicals.

BLADES AND BLADE SELECTION

This band saw is designed to use .020" (0.5 mm)

thick, 1/2" (12.7 mm) wide and 44 – 7/8" (1140 mm)

long blades. DO NOT use more than .020" (0.5 mm)

thick blades.

The special .020" thickness reduces exure

fatigue and provides maximum tooth life. To

maximize cutting life, use a blade with the correct

pitch (teeth per inch) for the specic cutting job.

Blades are available in several pitches. To

select the proper blade, three factors should be

considered: The size, shape, and type of material

to be cut.

The following suggestions are for selecting the

right blade for various cutting operations. Keep

in mind that these are broad guidelines and that

blade requirements may vary depending upon

the specic size, shape and type of material to

be cut.
