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, which 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.
7. Hold the saw firmly in both hands so that the saw does not fall
against clamped or supported material when the cut is completed.
Tips for Better Cutting
The following recommendations should be used as a guide. 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 tires and reduce performance.
• If excessive vibration occurs during the cut, ensure that the
material being cut is is securely clamped down. If vibration
continues, change the band saw blade.
MAINTENANCE
A WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and remove battery pack before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
Lubrication
Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication
is not required. In the unlikely event that service is ever needed, take
your tool to an authorized service location.
Cleaning
_ WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air
at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
