on the machine and in this manual. Failure
to comply with all of these warnings may
cause serious injury.

obscured or removed.
4. This band saw is designed and intended for
use by properly trained and experienced
personnel only. If you are not familiar with
the proper and safe operation of a band
saw, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
Walter Meier (Manufacturing) Inc., disclaims
any real or implied warranty and holds itself
harmless from any injury that may result
from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this table saw. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses; they are not safety glasses.

rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all
loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-
slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended.

extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
work in a well-ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as face or
dust masks that are specifically designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
