Mount Band Saw - Craftsman 351.214140 Operator's Manual

. Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-
sible injury.
° Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs
too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.) Do not remove jammed or cut off
pieces until the saw is turned off, unplugged and the
blade has stopped.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result
in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles complying with United
States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before com-
mencing power tool operation. Safety goggles are avail-
able through your Sears catalog.
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a
claim must be filed with carrier. Check for complete-
ness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
The band saw comes assembled as one unit. Additional
parts which need to be fastened to the saw should be
located and accounted for before assembling (see
