Operation Tips

The following tips will help you safely and effec- tively operate your bandsaw and get the maxi- mum life out of your saw blades.

NOTICE

Loosen blade tension at the end of each day to prolong blade life.

Tips for horizontal cutting:

•Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length.

•Clamp the material in the vise jaws to ensure a straight cut through the material.

•Let the blade reach full speed before engag- ing the workpiece.

•Never start a cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece and do not start a cut on a sharp edge.

•Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips are thin and powder like, increase your feed rate.

•Burned chips indicate a need to reduce your blade speed.

•Wait until the blade has completely stopped before removing the workpiece from the vise, and avoid touching the cut end—it could be very hot!

•Support long pieces so they won't fall when cut, and flag the ends to alert passers-by of potential danger.

•Adjust the blade guides as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.

•Use cutting fluid when possible to increase blade life.
