GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, work gloves and hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injury.
3. 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 finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
4
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling. 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 on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your expo-
sure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SPECIFIC RULES YOUR BAND SAW
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety
rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
1. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases
the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases; sparks generated
by the grinder could ignite these flammable materials.
2. PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessories contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY. Tie back long hair. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they might get drawn in by
the tool. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses with side shields, hearing protection and a dust mask when us-
ing the tool.
4. DUST PROTECTION. Wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device. Dust from material such as
paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders); certain kinds of dust are clas-
sified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning.
5. SAW BLADE SAFETY. Use the correct size and style of blade. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth be-
fore each use. Do not operate with dull, cracked or badly worn blade. When replacing blades, make sure the blade
teeth are pointing down and towards the table. Check that the blade is properly tensioned (blade tensioning handle
tightened down) before operating.
6. WORKPIECE SAFETY. Workpieces should be securely fastened down so they don’t twist, rock, or slip while
being cut. Small pieces should be secured with clamps or fixtures. Do not hold small pieces with your hand. Work
slowly and carefully when cutting corners, sharp edges, ragged welds, and etc. to avoid snagging.
7. STARTING THE TOOL. Hold the tool firmly with both hands to resist starting torque. Turn on the tool and
let the blade come to full speed before contacting the workpiece.
8. DURING OPERATION. To prevent personal injury, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands and
keep the tool away from your body. Keep hands, hair and other beloved body parts away from the blade. Do not
run the tool while carrying it at your side. Never leave the band saw unattended while it is running.
9. PREVENT BURNING. Cutting material and the motor housing can get very hot during operation. Do not touch
the workpiece, saw blade or motor housing immediately after operation.
10. TURNING OFF THE TOOL. Lift the tool from the workpiece before turning the machine off. Do not put the
band saw down until the blade comes to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of
your control. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving
11. MAINTAINING AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Always turn OFF and unplug the tool before cleaning,
making adjustments or changing attachments. Accidental start-ups may occur if the tool is plugged in during an ac-
cessory change or adjustment.

SPECIFIC RULES YOUR BAND SAW
These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool,
so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injuries:
1. First be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from using this tool. People who are pregnant, have impaired blood circulation to the
hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s disease should NOT use this tool.
2. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), stop work-
ing and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
3. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
4. Wear suitable work gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
5. Hold the tool firmly enough to keep safe control of it, but NOT too tightly. The risk associated with vibration is
increased when the gripping force is high. Let the tool do the work.
6. Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may kick back over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the
tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners,
sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on
plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be
protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Run-
ning at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
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 overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

IMPORTANT: Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by a qualified service personnel using identical replacement parts. Always use original factory
replacement parts when servicing.
1. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. DO NOT
modify the machine plug or the extension cord in any way.
2. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit or
outlet used for this power tool to reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. SERVICE AND REPAIR. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be repaired by qualified service
technician using original replacement parts.
DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS
The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This
eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
