Specific Safety Rules
1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR WORN BLADES. Dull blades require more effort
to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades before each use.
2. NEVER POSITION HANDS OR FINGERS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal injury could occur.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND BLADE
GUARDS IN PLACE.
4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure teeth face down, towards the table.
The force of the cut is always down. Make sure the blade is properly tensioned.
5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY SUPPORTED by the table or some type of support
fixture. Always support round stock in a V-block.
6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY from the blade while the saw is running.
Plan your cuts so you always cut out of the wood. if you need to back the work out, turn
the bandsaw off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not twist or put
excessive stress on the blade while backing work away.
7. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND SMOOTHLY. Let the blade cut at its own pace.
Do not force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing small radii.
8. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO CUT METAL or other materials, only wood.
9. MAKE SURE BLADE IS RUNNING AT FULL SPEED before beginning a cut.
10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW THE BLADE after turning the saw off. Allow
it to come to a complete stop before you leave it unattended.
11. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS, AND MAINTENANCE MUST TO BE DONE
WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving parts
to come to a complete stop.
