Band Saw ............
..................

...............................

Your band saw must be bolted securely to a stand or
work bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for
the band saw to tip over or move during certain operations such as cutting long heavy boards, bolt your
band saw stand or workbench to the floor.

When cutting a large piece of material,
it is supported at table height,

for indoor use only.

7. Protection:
Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI
Z87.1 and a face shield if operation
is dusty.
Wear
ear plugs or muffs
during
extended
periods of operation.
Do not wear gloves..,
roll
long sleeves abo_e the elbow.
b. Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by
hand.

Use caution when cutting off material
irregular in cross section which could

A
molding for example must lay flat on the
not be permitted to rock while being cut.

When backing up the workpiece, the blade may
bind in the kerf (cut)...
this is usually caused by
sawdust clogging
up the kerf or because the
blade comes out of the guides. If this happens:
Turn off the band saw..,
remove plug
power source outlet..,
remove cover
