BASIC OPERATION OF THE BAND SAW

A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine that can also be used for straight-line cutting operations like cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cut: ting, and resawing. It is not capable of making inside or non-through cuts.

This band saw is designed to cut wood and wood compo: sition products only.

Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw. Do not restart until locating and correcting the prob- lem.

CUTTmNG PROCEDURES

[] Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.

[] Use gentle pressure and both hands when feeding the work into the blade. Do not force the work; allow the blade to cut.

[] The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is deter- mined by blade width. A 1/4 in. wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of 1-1/2 in.; a 1/8 in. wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of 1/2 in.

[] Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not handle pieces so small your fingers will go under the blade guard.
