Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol-
lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!
1. BLADE CONDITION . Do not operate with a dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Dull blades require
more effort to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use, and replace as required.
2. HAND PLACEMENT . Never position fingers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious personal injury
could occur.
3. GUARDS
. Do not operate this bandsaw without the blade guard in place or with the doors open.
4. BLADE REPLACEMENT
. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face toward the front of the
machine and the blade is properly tensioned before operating.
5. WORKPIECE HANDLING . Never hold small workpieces with your fingers during a cut. Always sup-
port/feed the workpiece with a push stick, table support, vise, or some type of clamping fixture.
6. CUTTING TECHNIQUES
. Plan your cuts to always cut out of the wood. DO NOT back the workpiece
away from the blade while the saw is running. If you need to back the work out, turn the bandsaw
OFF and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop, and DO NOT twist or put excessive stress
on the blade while backing work away.
7. BLADE SPEED . Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.
8. LEAVING WORK AREA . Never leave a machine running and unattended. Allow the bandsaw to come
to a complete stop before you leave it unattended.
9. FEED RATE
. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting,
especially when sawing small radii.
10. WORKPIECE MATERIAL . This machine is designed to cut wood only. It is not designed to cut metal
or use cutting fluid.
11. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
. All inspections, adjustments, and maintenance are to be done with the
power OFF and the plug removed from the outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete
stop.
12. BLADE CONTROL
. Do not attempt to stop or slow the blade with your hand or a workpiece. Allow
the blade to stop on its own, unless your machine is equipped with a brake.
