extension, ensure your ability to transmit the electrical
current used by your product. An undersized cable will
cause a voltage drop resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to be used depending on the cable diameter and the
amperage rating. If in doubt, use a cable with a higher
power level. IMPORTANT: Do no use extension cords
longer than 20 meters.

Additional Safety Rules for Band Saws:
CAUTION: FAILURE TO MEET THESE
WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE. Protect the power supply line with at least a
15 amp fuse or a circuit breaker.
Make sure the ribbon is spinning in the correct
direction (clockwise when viewed from the front).
Make sure that the handles and screws are properly
tightened and secured before starting any operation.
Use sharp tapes and no signs of oxidation.
Keep the engine vents free of chips or dirt.
Always use chip protection.
Keep your hands out of the tool path
.
Turn the machine off, disconnect the cable from the
power outlet and wait until the tape has come to a
complete stop before performing maintenance or
adjustments to the tool. Support long pieces with a
wood fixing device.
Do not attempt to operate the machine at a voltage
other than the rated voltage.
Do not use tapes larger or smaller than
recommended.
Do not force anything against the fan to hold the motor
shaft.
Do not force the cut. Partial or total forced shutdown of
the engine can cause serious damage. Allow the engine to
reach full speed before starting to cut.
Do not cut ferrous metals or any masonry material.
Do not use abrasive cuts. Excessive heat and abrasive
particles generated by these will damage the machine.
Do not allow anyone to remain behind the machine.
Do not apply lubricant to the tool when in operation.
Do not put any hand on the tape area when the machine
is connected to the power outlet.
Do not work with small pieces without the aid of
fasteners. Keep your hands away from the tool.
Do not perform any hands-free operation.
Do not stretch around or behind the machine.
Do not put your hands within 15 centimeters of the tool.
Do not put your hands under the table unless it is turned
off and unplugged.
Do not perform any operation with the doors open.
Do not move your hands on the machine or workpiece or
raise your arms until the tool has stopped.
Do not use the machine without the side table.
Do not use lubricants or cleaning products (particularly
sprays and aerosols) in the vicinity of plastic components.
The polycarbonate material used is sensitive to certain
chemicals.
ATTENTION: Some dust created by sanding,
cutting, grinding, drilling and other construction-
related activities contains chemicals that can cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
