1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of

these warnings may cause serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This band saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you

are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a band saw, do not use until proper training and

knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this band saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier

(Manufacturing) Inc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may

result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this band saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have

impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this band saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the

elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are

recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Always use the blade guard on all ''through-sawing'' operations. A through-sawing operation is one in which

the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or

dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are

removed from the machine before turning it on.

15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes,

use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

16. Make sure the band saw is firmly secured to the floor or bench before use.

17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, 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.

18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
