Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, 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 by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to portable band saw safety rules. If
you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
1. Use only blades which are 1,140 mm (44-7/8")
long, 13 mm (1/2") wide, and 0.5 mm (.020") thick.
2. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately.
3. Secure the workpiece firmly. When cutting a bun-
dle of workpieces, be sure that all workpieces
are secured together firmly before cutting.
4. Cutting workpieces covered with oil can cause
the blade to come off unexpectedly. Wipe off all
excess oil from workpieces before cutting.
