  Safety warnings 

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, 
Walter Meier (Manufacturing) Inc., 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 after 
completion of maintenance. 

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. 

20.  Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, 

master switches or by removing starter keys. 

21. Give your work undivided attention. Looking 

around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in 
serious injury. 

22.  Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that 

you do not fall into the blade or other moving 
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force 
to perform any machine operation. 

23. Use the right tool at the correct speed and 

feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to 
do a job for which it was not designed. The 
right tool will do the job better and more safely.
