•Avoid accidental
•Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed.
•Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
•Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
•Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
•Know your tool. Learn the tool'soperation, applica- tion and specific limitations.
•Use recommended accessories (refer to page 17). Use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
•Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury.
•Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.) Do not remove summed or cut off pieces until the saw is turned off, unplugged and the blade has stopped.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool operation. Safety goggles are available through your Sears catalog.
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a claim must be filed with carrier. Check for complete- ness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.

Figure 1 - Unpacking
Unbolt saw from shipping pallet and remove saw from crate using eye bolt on saw and heavy duty lifting equipment such as an overhead crane.
WARNING: Be careful not to touch overhead power lines, piping, lighting, etc., if lifting equipment is used. Band saw weighs approximately 1000 Ibs. Proper tools, equipment and qualified personnel should be employed in all phases of unpacking and installation. IMPORTANT: Table is coated with a protectant. To ensure proper fit and operation, remove coating. Coating is easily removed with mild solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft cloth. Avoid getting solution on paint or any of the rubber or plastic parts. Solvents may deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water on paint, plastic or rubber components. After cleaning, cover all exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil. Paste wax is recommended for table top.
WARNING: Never use highly volatile solvents. Non flammable solvents are recommended to avoid possible fire hazard.
Refer to Figure 16.
CAUTION: Do not attempt assembly if parts are miss- ing. Use operator's manual to order replacement parts.

1.Band saw needs to be set on a flat, level surface.
2.Make sure there is ample room for moving the work- piece through the entire cut. There must be enough room that neither the operator nor bystanders will have to stand in line while using the tool.
3.Good lighting and correct power supply are also required for a proper work area.
