GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE BAND SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use this Band Saw.

WARNING

To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the Band Saw in until you have read and understood the following:

1.READ and become familiar with the entire Operator’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.

2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.

4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

5.DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

6.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

7.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

8.DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9.USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

10.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power that will cause the tool to overheat. The table on page 6 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

11.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any Band Saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes that could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety Standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistance lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at HITACHI.

NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury.

13.WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing operation produces dust.

14.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.

17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the Operator’s Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause serious injury.

18.NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19.CHECK FOR 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.

20.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER “OFF”. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

21.DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

22.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

23.DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

24.DO NOT OPERATE the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.

25.ALWAYS operate the Band Saw in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems whenever possible. Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health.
