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.

PROMAC, 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.

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.

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.

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.
