Model G0568/G0569 (Mfd. Since 10/11)
One of the most useful safety features of the
Model G0568/G0569 is the key switch (see
Figure 54). To disable the ON and OFF controls
turn the key to "0" and remove the key if desired.
To enable the ON and OFF controls, turn the key
to "1". The OFF button functions also as an emer-
gency stop switch. If at any time during operation
of the bandsaw a safety hazard present itself,
immediately press the OFF button, or use the foot
brake to bring the blade to a halt.

The Model G0568/G0569 is equipped with a foot
brake (see
Figure 53). Use the brake only in
emergency situations to disconnect power to the
motor and bring the blade to a halt.
Figure 53. The foot brake is located below the
dust collection port.
Foot Brake
The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw
wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT become
over-confident and relax your safety aware-
ness because of the foot brake feature.
