WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

PORTABLE BAND SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Hold power
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.
2. Use only blades which are 1,140 mm (44-7/8")
long, 13 mm (1/2") wide, and 0.5 mm (0.020")
thick.

3. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
4. Secure the workpiece firmly. When cutting a
bundle of workpieces, be sure that all
workpieces are secured together firmly before
cutting.
5. Cutting workpieces covered with oil can cause
the blade to come off unexpectedly. Wipe off
all excess oil from workpieces before cutting.
6. Never use the cutting oil as a cutting lubricant.
Use only Makita cutting wax.
7. Do not wear gloves during operation.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. When cutting metal, be cautious of hot flying
chips.
11. Do not leave the tool running unattended.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
