> Always ensure that the adjustable blade guard is as close to the work piece as
possible.
> Always ensure that all adjustments are correct and secure before starting the
band saw.
> Always ensure that the blade tension and tracking are set correctly.
> Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other foreign
objects before beginning sawing.
2. Safe operation
> When ever possible the band saw should be connected to a suitable
dust extraction system when cutting timber or timber based products such as
MDF.
> When straight cutting always use the push stick provided. This will prevent hands
from contacting the blade. Store the push stick on it’s holder after use.
> This saw must be attached to a solid secure work surface by means of the
fixing holes in the base.
> Never adjust or assemble the rip fence or mitre gauge when the machine is
working;
> When the workpiece is near to the saw blade, never use your hand to push it.
Always use the push stick provided (See 25 on main diagram)
> Never tension the saw blade when working;
> If need to adjust the blade guide, stop the machine first.
> Do Not Operate the bandsaw with the door or guard protecting the band saw
blade open, damaged or is missing. Always ensure that the bandsaw blade
selected and the operating speed is suitable for the material being cut.
> Always support long lengths of material and ensure that the material is held flat
against the table. This will help to reduce noise levels due to vibration.
> When bevel cutting with the table inclined place the guide fence on the lower
part of the table.
> When cutting round material, use a suitable holding device to prevent the material
from twisting.
> Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the saw blade.
> Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.
> Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first switching off the machine.
> Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest
naturally.
> If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch
off before looking up.
3. Transportation
> During transportation ensure that the adjustable blade guard is in the fully down
position.
