The following tips will help you safely and effec-
tively operate your bandsaw and get the maxi-
mum life out of your saw blades.
Tips for cutting:
• Use the work stop to quickly and accurately
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same
length.
• Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to
ensure a straight cut through the material.
• Let the blade reach full speed before engaging
the workpiece. Never start a cut while the
blade is in contact with the workpiece, and
do not start a cut on the sharp edge of a
workpiece.
• Chips should be curled and silvery. If the
chips are thin and powder-like, increase your
feed rate.
Operation Tips
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day
to prolong blade life.
• Burned chips indicate a need to reduce your
blade speed.
• Wait until the blade has completely stopped
before removing the workpiece from the vise,
and avoid touching the cut end—it could be
very hot!
• Support long pieces so they won't fall when
cut, and flag the ends to alert passers-by of
potential danger.
• Adjust the blade guide assemblies as close
as possible to the workpiece to minimize
side-to-side blade movement.
Before adjusting headstock, verify workpiece is
held firmly in place by the vise. The headstock
can be adjusted to cut any angle, from a straight
90-degree cut-off to a 60-degree angle, by
loosening the angle lock handle. Angles between
90° and 60° can be read using the scale on top of
the saw base. Use a combination square or bevel
protractor if higher precision is required when find-
ing these angles (see
Figure 25).
