SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BAND SAWS
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and
knowing how your band saw works. Read and understand the
following safety rules before operating.
• Adjust the upper guide to just clear workpiece.
• Make sure that the blade is properly adjusted and tensioned
before operating.
• Do not remove small jammed pieces until the blade has
completely stopped.
• Hold workpiece firmly against the table. Do not saw a workpiece
which does not have a flat surface unless it can be supported.
• Turn the machine off if the workpiece is to be backed out of an
uncompleted cut.
BEFORE EACH USE:
Inspect your band saw.
• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, turn the
switch off, unplug the band saw and remove the switch key
before changing the set-up, removing covers, guards or the
blade.
• Check the alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, band saw stability and any other conditions
that may affect the way the band saw works.
• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or if any
electrical parts do not work properly, turn the band saw off and
unplug the saw. Replace damaged or missing parts before using
the band saw again.
the upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the
workpiece.
•
Caution: Never cut metals with this band saw, only wood and
wood products.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.
• Use extra supports (tables, blocks, etc...) for any workpieces
large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table extension,
or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider
than the basic band saw table, or to help feed, support or pull
the workpiece.
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so
it will not slip and pinch the blade. A piece of molding for
example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not
let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
• Properly support round material such as dowel rods or tubing.
They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the blade to
“bite”. To avoid this, always use a “V” block or clamp the work
to the miter guage.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time.
WHENEVER THE BAND SAW IS RUNNING.
• Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs. If it makes
an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the
saw off and unplug. Do not restart until you have found and
corrected the problem.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM JAMS,
SLIPS, THROWN PIECES OR BROKEN BLADES.
Inspect your blade.

material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
