932VS Portable Band Saw
Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
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
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Tool Use and Care

• Use clamp or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce risk of starting tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
• Inspect tool and extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. This allows for better control of the tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-
pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electrical shock or injury.
• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.

Tool Safety

• Do not alter or misuse tool. Other uses may in-
crease the risk of injury.
• Always use the blade recommended for the material
being cut. Recommended blades that are sharp are
less likely to bind and tool is easier to control.
• Secure workpiece before attaching vise. Clamp
work vise securely to the work piece before at-
taching band saw to vise. To maintain control,
workpiece must support weight of work vise and band
saw without movement.
• Stay clear of workpieces that may fall after cut. May
result in injury.
• Maintain a firm grip on band saw handle while
making a cut. Support saw weight as cut is com-
pleted. Will prevent losing control of the saw.
• Turn band saw OFF and disconnect from power
source while mounting and dismounting the saw
from work vise. Prevents accidental starting.
• Keep hands away from cutting area when operat-
ing saw. Fingers or hands can be cut.
• Do not use if guards are damaged or removed.
