General Safety Instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as those containing flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distraction can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. If your body is earthed or grounded, you are at an increased risk of electric shock.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. This reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use an earth leakage circuit breaker. This reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch your actions, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection, used under appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Poorly maintained power tools cause many accidents.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

• Have a qualified repair person service your power tool using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure its safety.

Safety Instructions For VEVOR Portable Band Saw

• When operating a power tool where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its cord, hold it by insulating gripping surfaces. Cutting accessories contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Never leave the Bandsaw unattended while it is running. Do not put the portable Band saw down until the blade comes to a complete stop.
• Before each use, ensure the Tension Handle is in the tightened position(making the blade taut).
• Cutting Material. Make sure the cutting material is securely fastened down before operating the Bandsaw. Work slowly and carefully when cutting corners, sharp edges, ragged welds, etc., to avoid snagging.
• Cutting material and the motor housing can get very hot during operation. Stop work until the unit cools down to a safe temperature. Spray coolant or water onto the blade.
• Maintain the tool’s labels and nameplates. These carry important safety information. If they are unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
• Do not lay the tool down until it has completely stopped. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
• When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
• Do not leave the tool unattended when plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool and unplug it from the outlet before leaving.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
• People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to the heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should: Avoid operating alone. Do not use with the power switch locked on. Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock. Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paints, Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products, Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this work. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health&SafetyCode§ 25249.5, et seq.)
• WARNING: The cord of this product contains lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.(CaliforniaHealth&SafetyCode § 25249.5, et seq.)
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations. The operator must understand that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product but must be supplied by the operator.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms, and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
