WARNING: Never operate saw without the blade guard secured in place.

To do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, maintain proper adjustment of

blade tension, blade tracking, blade guides, and thrust bearings.

WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible

serious personal injury, turn off the saw, remove the switch key, and unplug the

saw before working on the band saw.

WARNING: To avoid blade contact, adjust the blade guide assembly

to just clear the work piece. Failure to do so could result in serious personal

injury.

WARNING: Do not force the work piece against the blade. Light contact

permits easier cutting and prevents unwanted friction and heating of the blade.

WARNING: This is a wood cutting band saw. Do not use this saw to cut

metal.

Basic Operation Information

NOTE: Use scrap lumber to check the settings and to get the feel of operating

the band saw before attempting regular work.
