Additional Safety Rules – Portable
Band Saws
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessories contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
•
Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.
•
Always make sure the portable band saw is clean
before using.
•
Always cease operation at once if you notice any
abnormality whatsoever.
•
Always be sure all components are mounted
properly and securely before using tool.
•
Always handle the band saw blade with care when
mounting or removing it.
•
Always keep your hands out of the line of the band
saw blade.
•
Always wait until the motor has reached full speed
before starting a cut.
•
Always keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and
grease.
Hold the tool firmly when in use.
•
Always be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations.
Always be sure of
position of your hands relative to the blade.
•
Never remove work stop.
•
Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting
off.
They may be hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious
personal injury may result.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures 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 those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use.
Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
