[. . . ] Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to portable band saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. Use only blades which are 1, 140 mm (44-7/8") long, 13 mm (1/2") wide, and 0. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. When cutting a bundle of workpieces, be sure that all workpieces are secured together firmly before cutting. Cutting workpieces covered with oil can cause the blade to come off unexpectedly. Wipe off all excess oil from workpieces before cutting. Never use the cutting oil as a cutting lubricant. When cutting metal, be cautious of hot flying chips. Do not leave the tool running unattended. Do not touch the blade or workpiece immediately after operation; they are extremely hot and could burn your skin. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it. WARNING: MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. CAUTION: The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work. The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 1. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. [. . . ] When not using the tool for a long period of time, remove the blade from the tool. When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a cutting lubricant. When the blade slips or does not track properly because of badly worn tires, or the lip of the tire on motor side gets damaged, the tires should be replaced. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps. [. . . ]
