Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, 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 fil-
ter out microscopic particles.
Use a vacuum cleaner for wood dust collection as
described in our manual whenever possible.
4. Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is proper-
ly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The con-
ductor with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel,
if the grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in
Figure 21.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 21. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a prop-
erly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

5.2. Introduction
The MICRO Band Saw MBS/E cuts steel, non-ferrous
materials, wood and plastic materials and can also be
used for glass and ceramics when fitted with a dia-
mond saw blade. The MBS/E is driven by a powerful
115 V motor with electronic speed regulation for the
adjustment of the correct band speed for excellent
working results. The low noise motor (high quality, for
quiet, prolonged use) operates via toothed belt.
A solid, ribbed die-cast aluminum housing (not a tubu-
lar or sheet metal construction) ensures the necessary
stability. The machine has double ball bearing alu-
minum pulleys, a sturdy machined table with a slot for
the miter gauge as well as the coolant trough.
The possibility of adjusting the work table to any angle
between 0° and 45° ensures clean and accurate miter
cuts.
Electronically controlled speeds for exceptionally
accurate cutting (no subsequent finishing necessary)
are available from 395 to 820 ft/min. A practical table
at the outside of the machine housing indicates the
recommended speed for various types of material.
The machine comes equipped with one 42" x

The blade section size
ideal for fine work, allowing to cut even smallest radii
(also available as accessory, NO 28 176) .
The scope of delivery includes a miter guide with gra-
dation and two Allen keys as well as a push stick. The
MICRO Band Saw can be equipped with an optionally
available liquid coolant system.
