Note: Although the power key switch pre-
vents the machine from starting, it will not
completely cut all power to the machine. Do
not rely on the power key switch to discon-
nect the bandsaw from power for service,
adjustments, or maintenance. Instead, you
must physically unplug the power cord to dis-
connect the machine from power.
