use

Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a. Always wear safety goggles that comply
with ANSI Z87.1. Wear a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs
during extended periods of operation. Do
not wear gloves, jewelry or watches, Roll
long sleeves above the elbow.

d. Never turn your band saw "ON" before
clearing
the table of all Objects
(tools,
scraps of wood, etc.) except for the workpiece and related feed or support devices
for the operation planned.
e. Make sure the blade runs downward
toward the table. Always
adjust
tracking
wheel correctly so that the blade does not
run off the wheels.
f. Always adjust

blade tension correctly.

saw

ALWAYS adjust the upper blade guide and
blade guard to just clear the workpiece to
protect the operator, to keep blade breakage to a minimum, and to provide maximum support for blade.

When cutting a large piece of material,
provide additional support at table height.

i. Hold the work firmly against the table.
j. Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so
that the blade will cut. Keep fingers away
from the blade.
k. Use caution
when cutting
off material
which is irregular in cross section which
could pinch the blade before the cut is
completed. A piece of molding for example
must lay flat on the table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
I. Use caution when cutting off round material such as dowel rods, or tubing. They have
a tendency to roll while being cut causing
the blade to "bite".
Always clamp round
material
to a miter gauge, or provide
equivalent support.
m. 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:

b. Do not cut pieces of material too small to
hold securely by hand.
c. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a
sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the blade.

1. Turn off the band saw..,
remove plug
from
power source
outlet...remove
cover from band saw. Insert a screwdriver or wedge in the kerf..,
rotate the
wheels by hand while backing
up the
workpiece.
Never leave the band saw work area with

An alternate method of mounting
is to fasten

be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while
in use. Any good grade of plywood or chipboard
with a 314" minimum
thickness is recommended.
(Thinner chipboard can break.)
Follow instructions
for mounting
to workbench, substituting
a board 18" x 24" minimum size and using 5/16 inch flat head
screws, Iockwashers,
and hex nuts (not included). Screw length should be 11/2'' plus
the thickness of the mounting board.

saw operation
SAW
KERF

A band saw is basically a "curve cutting"
machine. It is also used for straight-line
cutting operations such as cross cutting,
ripping, mitering,
beveling, compound
cutting, and resawing. It is
not capable of doing inside cutting.
This band saw is designed
wood like products only.

cut wood

WORKPIECE

and

For general type scroll cutting, follow the pattern
lines by pushing and turning the workpiece
at
the same time. Do not try to turn the workpiece
while engaged in the blade without pushing it;
the workpiece could bind or twist the blade.

RIGHT
- Planning
for cutting a curve.

A curve cut is best performed
by keeping the
pattern line in line with the blade while turning
the workpiece before the radius of the curve is
cut. The blade should cut in the middle of the
pattern line (saw kerf) since wood cutting band
saw blades are thin.
NOTE: Blade guard is raised

.

The smallest diameter circle that can be cut
out is determined
by the width of the blade.
A 1/4" wide blade will cut a minimum
diameter of approximately
1-1/2".

Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too
small a radius for a 1/4-inch blade) is to be cut. A
relief cut is made by cutting through scrap section of workpiece to curve in pattern line, then
carefully
backing blade out. Several relief cuts
should be made for intricate curves, then follow
pattern line as sections
are cut off of curve

blade pressure.
