DON'T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Don't force a small tool or attachment to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Don't used tool for purpose not
intended—for example, don't use a circular saw for
cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may result in
dangerous conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or
explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically
and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is
the same as that specified on the nameplate of the
tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that
specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the
user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
THINK SAFETY
WARNING
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF
OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT
ALL TIMES WHEN THE BAND SAW IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your
band saw) to become commonplace. Always remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.

Additional Safety Rules

Tool Use
Tool Care
The operation of any power tool can
result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles that
comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
Package) before commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created by power
WARNING
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known 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.
NOTE AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY WARNINGS
