Operation Tips

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

Tips for horizontal cutting:

•Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length (see Figure 30).

•Clamp the material firmly 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 (see Figure 31).

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

•If the chips are burned, reduce the 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!

Tips for vertical cutting:

•Make sure that the vertical table assembly is securely fastened to the bandsaw frame so it will adequately support the workpiece.

•Always keep your fingers away from the blade and always hold the workpiece secure- ly in your hand (Figure 32).

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

NOTICE

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