FASTENING BAND SAW TO SUPPORTING SURFACE if during operation there is any tendency for the machine to tip over, slide, or walk on the supporting surface, the machine must be secured to the supporting surface. Four holes (A) Fig, 10, are provided in the band saw base for this purpose. Fig. 10 CONNECTING BAND SAW TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp fuse.
GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS CAUTION: THiS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE iN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
