WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules.
If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a
specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an
unintended purpose.
2. Do not use the tool if any parts are damaged, broken or misplaced.
Repair or replace the parts.
3. Only use saw blades that are specifically designed for use with the
tool. Ensure the saw blade is tightly installed.
4. Do not use a dull or damaged cutting saw blade. A dull saw blade
requires more force to use the tool, possibly causing the saw blade
to break. This may cause an injury and will damage the workpiece.
4.1 Dull or improperly set saw blade produce a narrow kerf that can
cause excessive friction on the saw blade, resulting in binding or
a kickback. Keep the saw blade's edge sharp and clean.
5. Only use a saw blade that exceeds the Speed Rating (see
Specifications).
6. Use the correct mounting hardware. The mounting hardware is
designed to hold the saw blade on the tool to allow optimum
performance and safety of operation. Mismatched mounting
hardware may result in a tool malfunction and cause an injury.
6.1 Always use blades that are correctly sized and shaped for the
tool. Blades that do not match the tool's mounting hardware
will run erratically, causing loss of control.
7. Check the saw blade for damage before each use. A damaged
accessory can break during use and cause serious injury.
8. Affix the workpiece to a stable platform to prevent movement, minimize
body exposure to injury and saw blade binding or loss of control.
9. Position the tool on the larger section of a supported workpiece to
complete a cut. Cut the small portion away from the larger portion.
Support the smaller portion if possible to prevent it from binding
when the cut is almost complete.
10. Always handle the band saw blade with care when mounting or
removing it.
