USING THE PUSH STICK
The push-stick serves as an extension
of the operators hand as protection
against accidentally touching the
saw blade.
The push-stick should be used if the
rip fence is close to the blade.
When not in use, the push-stick can
be stored on the hook provided on
the bandsaw frame.
PRACTICAL OPERATION
Before commencing work, ensure the work area is clean and tidy and the
machine table is clear of tools etc. Plan your work carefully and set the
machine up accordingly before switching on.
•
Check the blade is correctly tensioned before use (see page 13).
•
Set the upper blade guide as close as practical to the workpiece. This
provides the best safety for the operator and giving more accurate results
and greater control.
•
Adjust the height of the upper blade guide to achieve the best control. The
guideshould always be set to just clear the top of the workpiece.
•
Switch on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed before proceeding.
•
Use both hands to feed the workpiece. The work must be held flat on the
table at all times to prevent binding of the blade. Use a steady, even
pressure, just sufficient to keep the blade cutting.
•
Always use the rip fence or mitre gauge where possible to eliminate any
sideways movement of the work. This is most important when the table is
tilted at an angle.
•
Remember that the blade removes material during the cut creating a gap
called the ‘kerf’, which must be allowed for when cutting to exact sizes.
Plan your cut so that the kerf is the scrap side of the line you wish to cut.
Where necessary, allow a little more material for finishing.
•
Always use a suitable holding device when cutting round or irregular
shaped timber to prevent twisting of the work piece.
