 Disorganized areas 

and work surfaces invite accidents.

  
 

Do not use the band saw in hazardous 

environments.

 Do not use power tools in damp or wet 

locations or exposed to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

  
 

Keep children away.

 Visitors must be kept at a safe 

distance from the work area. 

 

Make the workplace childproof

 by using padlocks, 

master keys or by removing the ignition key.

  
 

Do not force the tool.

 It will do the job better and safer 

for the intended use. Use the correct tool. 

 

Do not force the tool 

when doing work for which it 

was not designed.

  Use suitable equipment

. Do not wear loose clothing, 

gloves, chains, rings, bracelets or other accessories that 
could get caught in moving parts. 

 

Shoes with non-slip soles 

are recommended. Wear 

hair protection to secure it.

 

Always wear safety glasses.

 Also wear a face 

mask.

  

Secure the part to be worked. 

Ensure that the 

workpiece is held firmly against the side guides. This 
ensures better quality of work and prevents accidents.

  
 

Do not overreach.

 Keep your balance and your feet 

in a comfortable position at all times. 

 

Keep tools in order

. Keep tools sharp and clean for 

better and safer performance. Follow instructions on 
lubricating and changing accessories.

  
 

Unplug the machine

 from the outlet before servicing 

or changing accessories, such as blades, tips, cutters, 
etc.

 

 

Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. 

Make 

sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before 
connecting the wire to the plug.

  

Use recommended accessories. 

Refer to the 

instruction manual to check the recommended 
accessories. Improper use of accessories can cause a 
risk of accident for people.

  

Never step on the tool.

 A serious accident can 

occur if the tool is tilted or if the tool is touched 
accidentally. 

 

Check for damaged parts. 

Before continuing to use 

the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged must be 
carefully examined to determine its proper functioning 
and perform its function properly.

 

Check the alignment 

of moving parts, breakage of parts, assembly and any 
other condition that may affect its operation. Any part 
that is damaged must be repaired or replaced 
immediately. Do not use the tool if the switch does not 
turn it on or off.

  

 Never leave a tool running unattended.

 Turn off 

the ignition key. The engines of these tools can emit 
sparks and explode flammable gases.

 
 

Extension cables.

 Make sure your extension is in 

good condition. When to use
