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.

8.

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

operation may cause these to loosen.

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.

15.

Never stand on the Band Saw. Serious injury could result if the Band Saw is tipped

or if the rotating Saw Blade is accidently contacted.

16.

Never attempt to cut more than one workpiece at a time.

17.

Never attempt to cut freehand. Make sure the workpiece to be cut is pressed firmly

against the Table and secured in the Vise.
