SAW BLADE SAFETY
1. Always wear protective gloves when handling saw
blades.
2. Only use blades with correct size and type for both
your band saw and your workpiece.
3. Never use damaged or deformed saw blades. Only use
sharp blades.
4. Install the saw blade in the correct orientation indi-
cated in the instructions.
5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Never use your
hands to remove sawdust or scrap wood. Use a brush at
all times.
6. Never reach around saw blade or reach in back of the
saw blade.
7. The use of accessories or attachments not recom-
mended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of per-
sonal injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Operate in a well ventilated area. Keep the floor area
around the band saw level and free of slippery substanc-
es or other tripping hazards.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles to protect your
eyes from saw dust. Use hearing protection to protect
yourself from hearing loss.
3. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to pacemakers could cause pacemaker inter-
ference or pacemaker failure.
4. Wear work gloves when handling saw blades. DO NOT
wear gloves, neckties, jewelry, or loose clothing while
operating the saw.
5. Saw dust is harmful to your health. Use NIOSH-ap-
proved dust masks or other respiratory protection dur-
ing operation and cleaning.
6. Always turn off and unplug the band saw before mak-
ing any adjustments or repair tasks. Never adjust the
band saw or the workpiece while the saw is running.
7. Only use the band saw to cut wood.
PREPARING THE BAND SAW
When transporting the band saw, use the transporta-
tion handle and roll the assembled saw with the wheels.
Never carry the device by its guards or its accessories.
1. Examine the band saw for any damaged or missing
parts. Replace or repair damaged parts before operation.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners
are properly tightened.
SECURE YOUR WORKPIECE
1. To avoid blade binding or loss of control, always se-
cure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring that
body exposure is minimized. Use clamps to secure the
workpiece. Never perform any operation freehand.
2. Ensure that work is correctly supported. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece on both sides, close
to the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece.
3. For accuracy of cut, and to avoid blade binding, al-
ways use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
4. Never hand-hold a workpiece that is too small to be
clamped, as it can be launched away and cause injury.
Use proper support and guides to secure the small work-
piece.
5. Use extra caution with very large, very small, or awk-
wardly-shaped workpieces. Small pieces should be se-
cured with clamps. Do not hold small pieces with your
hand because your fingers might go under the blade
guard.
6. Support round work properly (use a V block or press
it against the miter gauge) to prevent it from rolling and
the blade from biting.
