Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws

1.BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Dull blades require more effort to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use, and replace as required.

2.HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fin- gers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious personal injury could occur.

3.GUARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw without the blade guard in place or with the doors open.

4.BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face toward the workpiece and the blade is properly ten- sioned before operating.

5.WORKPIECE HANDLING. Never hold small workpieces with your fingers during a cut. Always support/feed the workpiece with push stick, table support, vise, or some type of clamping fixture.

6.CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your cuts so you always cut out of the wood. DO NOT back the workpiece away from the blade while the saw is running. If you need to back the work out, turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop, and DO NOT twist or put excessive stress on the blade while back- ing work away.

7.BLADE SPEED. Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.

8.LEAVING WORK AREA. Never leave a machine running and unattended. Allow the bandsaw to come to a complete stop be- fore you leave it unattended.

9.FEED RATE. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing small radii.

10.WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is designed to cut wood only. It is not designed to cut metal or use cutting fluid.

11.MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspec- tions, adjustments, and maintenance are to be done with the power OFF and the plug removed from the outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

12.BLADE CONTROL. Do not attempt to stop or slow the blade with your hand or a workpiece. Allow the blade to stop on its own, unless your machine is equipped with a brake.

13.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support Department at (570) 546-9663.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
