SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THIS PRODUCT
1.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Band Saw. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
2.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves
when using the Band Saw. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight
Tools.
3.
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there
is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable
chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
4.
Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before
turning on the Band Saw.
5.
Do not force the Band Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed
and capacity for which it was designed.
6.
Always unplug the Band Saw from its electrical outlet before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
7.
Never leave the Band Saw unattended while running. Turn power off if you have to
leave the Band Saw.

Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Vibration during

9.
Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water.
10.
Always connect the Line Cord to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected electrical outlet.
11.
Make sure the Band Saw is located on a flat, level, sturdy surface capable of
supporting the weight of the Saw and workpieces. Always “chock” the Wheels to
prevent the Band Saw from accidentally moving.
12.
Make sure the Table of the Band Saw and surrounding area are clear of
obstructions, with the exception of the workpiece to be cut.
13.
Before using the Band Saw, check to make sure the Saw Blade is properly
mounted and is not cracked or bent.
14.
Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

Never attempt to cut freehand. Make sure the workpiece to be cut is pressed firmly
against the Table and secured in the Vise.
