To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to
the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate
electrical circuit for your tools.
"Yourband saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation,
Connect to a 120V, 15 AMP time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord
immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
Some dust created by power sanding sawing, grinding, 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 filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCT ONS
BEFORE USING THE BAND SAW
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and knowing how to use your band saw.
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not
plug the band saw in until you have read and understood
the following:
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction
manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations, and
possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS iN PLACE and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
,
.
DONq" USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from the work area.
,
MAKE WORKSHOP KID-PROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys:
8. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or the
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
t0. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will result in a drop in line voltage and loss of
power which wilt cause the tool to overheat. The table
on page 5 shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier tSe cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE
WP.AR YO_
PROTECTION. Any band saw
can throw foreign objects into
the eyes which could cause
permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles
(not glasses) that comply with
ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety
glasses. Safety Goggles are available at Sears. NOTE:
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could seriously hurt you when they break.
WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing and
sanding operations produce dust.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
D_SCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, and when
changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters,
and the like.
REDUCE THE R_SK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure the switch is in OFF position before plugging
in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
owner's manual for the recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properiy and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving #_rts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation, A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced.
