Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
workpiece. This will cause serious damage to the band saw
blade. To obtain maximum service life of the band saw
blade, ensure there is no sudden impact at the beginning of
the cuttingoperation.
4. As shown in FigureH, straight cutting can be accomplished
by keeping the band saw blade aligned with the side
surface of the motor housing. Any twisting or cocking of the
blade will cause the cut to go offline and decrease the life
of theblade.
NOTICE: During cutting, if the band saw becomes locked
or jammed in the workpiece material, release the switch
immediately to avoid damage to the band saw blade
andmotor.
5. The tool’s own weight provides the most efficient
downward cutting pressure. Added operator pressure slows
the blade and reduces bladelife.
6. End pieces, that would be heavy enough to cause injury
when they drop, after cut-off, should be supported. Safety
shoes are strongly recommended. End pieces may be hot
andsharp.
7. Whenever possible, hold the saw firmly in both hands. If
an application requires only one hand to be placed on the
saw, be sure to keep the second hand clear of the blade
area and do not allow the saw to fall against the clamped or
supported material when the cut iscomplete.
Tips for Better Cutting
The following recommendations should be used as a guide
(refer to the Recommended Cutting Positions chart). Results
may vary with the operator and the particular material
beingcut.
• Never twist the band saw blade during cuttingoperation.
• Never use liquid coolants with portable band saws.
Use of liquid coolants will cause build-up on tyres and
reduceperformance.
• If excessive vibration occurs during the cut, ensure that the
material being cut is securely clamped down. If vibration
continues, change the band sawblade.
