7. Plan intricate or small work carefully to avoid pinching
the blade. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
to prevent accidental contact with the blade.
DURING CUTTING OPERATIONS
1. Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
Never have any part of the body in line with the path of
the saw. Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across
your legs while cutting.
2. Ensure hands are away from the cutting area and
blade. Keep one hand on the rear handle, and the other
on the front grip. If both hands are holding the tool they
cannot be cut by the blade.
3. Feed work into the blade against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade only.
4. If you are interrupted when operating the saw, com-
plete the process and switch the saw off before looking
up.
5. Power tools must always be held by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation, ensur-
ing protection if the cutting tool makes contact with its
own cord or hidden wiring. Contact with a ‘live’ wire will
make exposed metal parts of the power tool ‘live’ and
shock the operator if the insulated gripping surfaces are
not used.
6. Do not use the band saw unless all guards are in
place. Do not operate with any guard disabled, damaged,
or removed. Moving guards must move freely and close
instantly.
7. Blade guide, supports, bearings, and blade tension
must be properly adjusted to avoid accidental blade con-
tact and to minimize blade breakage. To maximize blade
support, always adjust the upper blade guide and blade
guard so that it barely clears the workpiece.
8. Turn on the band saw and let it reach full speed, then
slowly slide the saw into the workpiece. This will help
produce safer and cleaner cuts.
9. Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack
workpieces together. Do not attempt to cut material
thicker than specified in this manual. Adjust the cutting
depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
10. If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece,
or if the blade binds in the cut, allow the blade to come
to a complete stop and lift the saw out of the workpiece.
11. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings. Do not slow
or stop a blade with a piece of wood or by hand. Let
the blade come to rest naturally. Do not attempt to free
a jammed blade while the machine is still running and
connected to power.
12. Always raise the blade to be covered by the blade
guard after use.
