Basic Cutting Tips
Here are some basic tips to follow when operating the
bandsaw:
• Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as necessary
and make adjustments periodically to keep the saw
always running in top condition.
• Use light and even pressure while cutting. Light con-
tact with the blade will permit easier line following
and prevent undue friction.
• Avoid trying to turn tight corners because this will
twist the blade. Remember, you must saw around
corners.
• Misuse of the saw or using incorrect techniques
is unsafe and results in frustration and poor cuts.
Remember—the blade does the cutting with the
operator’s guidance.
The ON/OFF switch is located in the location shown in
Figure 38 . Immediately turn the bandsaw OFF if there
becomes a safety hazard.
The switch can be disabled to prevent unauthorized use.
Remove the safety key shown in Figure 38 from the
switch housing and place the key in a safe place.
On/Off Switch
The blade guide support ( Figure 39 & 40 ) must be no
more than
1
⁄
8
" from the top of the workpiece at all times
to provide support for the blade so it cuts accurately.
To adjust the blade guide support, do these steps:
1. Make sure that the blade tension, blade tracking,
support bearings, and guide blocks are adjusted cor-
rectly.
2. Loosen the lock knob shown in Figure 39 .
3. Turn the elevation height knob to raise or lower the
blade guide support until it is no more than
1

" from
the top of the workpiece (see Figure 40 ).
