Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws

1.DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades require more demand on the motor and are less likely to cut precisely. Inspect blades before each use.

2.NEVERPOSITIONFINGERSORTHUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT. Serious personal injury could occur.

3.DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW WITHOUT WHEEL GUARDS, PULLEY GUARDS, AND BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.

4.WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure the teeth face toward the front of the saw.

5.CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY SUPPORTED against the side of the con- veyor table and by the pressure rollers.

6.DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY from the blade while the saw is running. If you need to back the work out, stop the bandsaw and wait for the blade to stop. DO NOT twist or put excessive stress on blade while backing work away.

7.BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL SPEED before beginning a cut.

8.ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND SMOOTHLY. DO NOT change conveyor speeds during a cut.

11.ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS, AND MAINTENANCE MUST BE DONE WITH THE POWER OFF and the circuit breaker shut off. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

12.HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become sec- ond-nature to you.
