Use extra caution with larqe, verv small, or awkward workpieces

1. Use extra supports (tables. saw horses. etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

2. Do not feed small pieces that require your finger holding the workpiece to go under the guard area Use jigs or fixtures to hold the work and keep yours l-rands away from the blade.

3.

When cutting rrregularly shaped workpieces.

plan your work so it will not pinch the blade.

A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let rt twist. rock or slip while being cut.

4.

Properly support round material such as dowel rods. or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to

"bite.

To avoid this, always use a "V" block, or clamp the workpiece to a miter gauge.

UTo avoid risk of hearing damage. wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.

f

.

To avoid being suddenly caught in the blade

1. Do not wear gloves.

2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing

3. Tre back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

g.

To avoid injury from accidental starting. always saw trrrn switch off and remove switch key before removing the guard. installing or removing any blade, accessory or attachment, or making any adjustments h.

To avoid slips and jams causing rnjury:

1. Choose the right size and style blade for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do. Use this band saw to cut only wood, woodlike products and plastic.

-

2. Make sure the blade teeth point downward toward the table.

3. Make sure the blade tracking guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted.

4. Always check and correctly adjust blade tension.

i.

To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade breakage and provide maximum blade support.

1. Always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the workpiece.

2.

Plan your hand placement so your fingers will not be where a sudden slip could cause them to hit the blade.

j.

Make sure all clamps and knobs are tight and there is no excessive play in any parts.

k.

To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the plug when installing or removing the plug to or from a live outlet.

l.

Never turn your band saw "ON" before clearing everything except the workpiece and related feed or support devices off the table.

FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR BAND SAW) TO

CAUSE

A

CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS RE-

MEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SEC-

OND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.

h lf your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn the saw off . Remove switch key and unplug the saw.

Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

Avoid awkward hand oositions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.

Feed blade the workpiece only fast enough to let cut without bogging down or binding.

the

Before freeing jammed material. turn saw off . Remove switch key Remove plug from power source outlet. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut) Thrs is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf or because the blade comes out of the gurdes lf this happens:

1. Turn saw off.

2.

Unplug saw.

3. Remove switch key.

4. Wait for all moving parts to stoo

5. Remove band saw cover.

6. Stick a flat blade screwdriver or wedqe into the kerf.

7. Iurn the upper wheel by hand using your palm while backing up the workpiece.

Before removing loose pieces f rom the table. turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.

To avoid injury from untested or improper accessories, use only Recommended Accessories listed on the Accessory page of this manual.
