The blade travel and wheel rotation on the Model G8692 are indicated by a direction arrow on the top cover, shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Blade direction.
Always operate the bandsaw with the blade traveling in same direction as arrow. Damage to the machine, workpiece and blade will result if the blade is travelling in the opposite direction.
Never operate the bandsaw without the proper blade guards and guides in place. Unprotected or unguided blades can cause injury to the operator and damage the machine or workpiece.
To start a cutting operation on the bandsaw:
1.Make sure all guards and blade guides are in place and secure.
2.Make sure the blade is not in contact with the material.
3.Clamp the material securely in the vise if you are using the stand.
4.Connect the bandsaw to the power source.
5.Press in the orange thumb button and pull the trigger to start the bandsaw.
6.Begin the cut by slowly letting the head down onto the workpiece. DO NOT DROP OR
FORCE BLADE THROUGH THE MATERI- AL.
7.When the cut has been completed, release the trigger and let the saw come to a com- plete stop before removing the workpiece from the vise.
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of cut. In the event that something unexpected happens, your hands or fingers may be pulled into the blade. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious personal injury!
