battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules – Portable Band
Saws
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep one
hand on the main handle and the other hand on the front handle to
prevent loss of control which could result in personal injury.
• Always make sure the portable band saw is clean before using.
• Always cease operation at once if you notice any abnormality
whatsoever.
• Always be sure all components are mounted properly and securely
before using tool.
• Always handle the band saw blade with care when mounting or
removing it.
• Always keep your hands out of the line of the band saw blade.
• Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting
a cut.
• Always keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease. Hold the
tool firmly when in use.
• Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous
operations. Always be sure of position of your hands relative to the
blade.
• Never remove work stop.
• Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be
hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
