Warning 

1.  Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation. 

2.  Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with 

all of these warnings may cause serious injury. 

3.  Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed. 

4.  This band saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. 

If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a band saw, do not use until proper 
training and knowledge have been obtained. 

5.  Do not use this band saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool 

Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result 
from that use. 

6.  Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this band saw. Everyday eyeglasses 

only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. 

7.  Before operating this band saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past 

the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips 
are recommended. Do 

not

 wear gloves. 

8.  Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. 

9.  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities 

contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples 
of these chemicals are: 

  Lead from lead based paint. 

  Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products. 

  Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. 

Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic 
particles. 

10.  Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication. 

11.  Make certain the switch is in the 

OFF

 position before connecting the machine to the power supply. 

12.  Make certain the machine is properly grounded. 

13.  Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source. 

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting 

wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.  

15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance 

purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately. 

16. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged 

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended 
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, 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. 

17.  Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting. 

18.  Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease. 

19.  Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. 

Keep children away.
