instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for

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.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

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.

by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.

designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Specific Safety
Instructions for Portable Band Saws
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
•
Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade.
• Always make sure the portable band saw
is clean before using.
• Always cease operation at once if you
notice any abnormality whatsoever.
• Always be sure all components are
mounted properly and securely before
using tool.
• Always handle the band saw blade with
care when mounting or removing it.
• Always keep your hands out of the line of
the band saw blade.
• Always wait until the motor has reached
full speed before starting a cut.
• Always keep handles dry, clean, and free
of oil and grease. Hold the tool firmly when
in use.
• Always be alert at all times, especially
during repetitive, monotonous operations.
Always be sure of position of your hands
relative to the blade.
• Never remove work stop.
• Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after
cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/or
heavy. Serious personal injury may result.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
CAUTION: When not in use, place
tool on its side on a stable surface
where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the
battery pack but may be easily knocked
