saw'.
- Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
o Bolt the saw to the support surface if it tends to
slip, Watk, or slide during operations like cutting
tong, heavy beards.
- Turn saw off and unplug cord before moving the
saw,
To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:
* GROUND THE SAW. This saw has an approved
3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type
plug. Use only 3-wire, grounded outlets rated
!20 volts, 15 amperes (amps). The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. To avoid
electrocution,
NEVER
connect
the green
wire to a live terminal.
BEFORE
EACH USE:
Inspect your saw.
DISCONNECT THE SAW. To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug the saw, turn the switch off
and remove the switch key before changing
the
setup, opening covers, removing guards, or blade.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check
for:
• alignment of moving parts,
• binding of moving parts,
• broken parts,
• stable mounting, and
• any other conditions that may affect the way the
saw
works,
If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or
any electrical part doesn't work properly, turn the saw
off and unplug the saw. REPLACE damaged, missing, or failed parts before using the saw again.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep the saw clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating.
REMOVE ADJUSTING
KEYS AND WRENCHES
from tool before turning it on.
To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
• Choose the right size and style blade for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
(See page 18). Consult this owner's manual for
recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that come with the accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
= Make sure the blade teeth point downward,
toward the table.
o Make sure the blade guides and thrust bearings
are properly adjusted.
, Make sure the blade tension is properly adjusted.
• Make sure the table lock knob is tight and no
parts have excessive play.
, To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize
blade breakage and provide maximum blade
support, always adjust the upper blade guide and
blade guard to just clear the workpiece.
, KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be
slippery.
To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
PJan ahead to protect your eyes,
hands, face, ears.
KNOW YOUR SAW. Read and understand
the
owner's manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn
its application and limitations as wel! as the specific
potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving
parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the
saw while any parts are moving.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch
is "OFF" before plugging saw into a power outlet.
Plan your work.
. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed to do.
, Use this band saw to cut only wood, wood like
products, and plastics.
Dress for safety.

YOUR
_'_
I
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI
Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyegiasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safe
ty glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears
retail catalog steres. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you
when they break.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wrist watches).
They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
, Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
o Roli long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possibTe hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using
your saw for hours at a time.
o For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with the safety goggles.
inspect your workpiece.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be cut.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces:
, Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,
etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when
not held down to the table top.
• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
tab!e extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider then the basic
saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the
workpiece.
o When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work so it will not pinch the blade. A piece
of molding for example, must iay flat or be held
by a fixture or jig that wilt not iet it twist, rock or
slip while being cut.
•Properiy support round material such as dowel
rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll dur*
ing a cut, causing the blade to "bite". To avoid
this, always use a 'W' block or clamp the work to
the miter gage.
Cut only one workpiece at a time.
- Clear everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table before turning
the saw on.
