To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the

tool, use proper circuit protection.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools.

Your band saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation.

Connect to a 120',/, 15 AMP time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord

immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

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 and cement and other masonry products, and

@ 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 exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE BAND SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and

knowing how to use your band saw.

To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not

plug the band saw in until you have read and understood the

following:

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction

manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations, and

possible hazards.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form

the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

5. DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't

use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose

them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a

safe distance from the work area.

10.

11.

MAKE WORKSHOP KID-PROOF with padlocks, master

switches, or by removing starter keys.

DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHTTOOL. Don't force the tool or the

attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

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 result in a drop in line voltage and loss of power

which wilt cause the tool to overheat. The table on page

5 shows the correct size to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge numbeq the

heavier the cord.

WEARYOUR ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION. Any band saw

can throw foreign objects into the

eyes which could cause

permanent eye damage.

ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles

(not glasses) that comply with

ANSI safety standard Z87.1, Everyday eyeglasses have

only impact-resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety

glasses. Safety Goggles are available at Sears.

NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI

Z87,1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing

operation produces dust.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hotd work

when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it

frees both hands to operate tool.

DISCONNECTTOOLS before servicing, and when

changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and

• the like.

16. REDUCETHE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.

Make sure the switch is in OFF position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the

owner's manual for the recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to

persons,

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if

the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally

contacted.

19. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of

the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be

carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions

that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is

damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.TURN

THE POWER OFF. Don't leave the tool until it comes to

a complete stop,

21. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose

22.

clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other

jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip

footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering

to contain long hair. 23.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and

clean for best and safest performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable

liquids or gases.
