Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws
9. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO
CUT METAL
or other material except
wood.
10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW
BLADE
after turning the saw off. Allow
it to come to a complete stop before you
leave it unattended.
11. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS,
AND MAINTENANCE MUST BE DONE
WITH THE POWER OFF
and the circuit
breaker shut off. Wait for all moving parts
to come to a complete stop.
12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE
HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits
in your shop and safety will become sec-
ond-nature to you.
13. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE BANDSAW!
Then contact our ser-
vice department or ask a qualified expert
how the operation should be performed.
14. MAKE SURE BLADE IS PROPERLY
TENSIONED BEFORE OPERATING
MACHINE.
15. KEEP LOOSE CLOTHING AND LONG
HAIR AWAY FROM MOVING CONVEY-
ORS!
1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR
BADLY WORN BLADES.
Dull blades
require more demand on the motor and are
less likely to cut precisely. Inspect blades
before each use.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR THUMBS
IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal
injury could occur.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW
WITHOUT WHEEL GUARDS, PULLEY
GUARDS, AND BLADE GUARDS IN
PLACE.
4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES,
make sure
the teeth face toward the front of the saw.
5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY
SUPPORTED
against the side of the con-
veyor table and by the pressure rollers.
6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY
from the blade while the saw is running.
If you need to back the work out, stop the
bandsaw and wait for the blade to stop. DO
NOT twist or put excessive stress on blade
while backing work away.
7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning a cut.
8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY.
DO NOT change conveyor
speeds during a cut.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
Like all machines there is danger associ-
ated with the Model G0504. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
