ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
2.
Keep blades sharp. Sharp blades will do the job better and safer.
3.
Keep hands away from cutting area. When sawing never reach underneath
or behind the material being cut for any reason.
4.
When you have finished a cut be careful not to come into contact with the
blade. Turn off the motor immediately.
5.
Make sure the material to be cut is firmly held to prevent movement.
6.
Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after being cut off.
7.
Never use a liquid coolant with portable band saws.
8.
Use only stick wax to lubricate the blade.

sawing.
11. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care
to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.
Request, and follow, all safety information available from your material
supplier.
12. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and
asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate
tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust
collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung
disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on
your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly
fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust
exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Liquid coolants can increase the risk of electric shock.
