Additional Safety Instructions for Resaws
1.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Service Department at (570)
2.ENTANGLEMENT. Keep loose clothing
and long hair away from moving conveyors!
Roll up or button sleeves at the cuff.
3.HAND PLACEMENT. Do not allow fingers to be pinched between board and con- veyor belt during operation. This may pull the operator’s hand into the machine and cause serious injury or death!
4.GUARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw without wheel guards, pulley guards, and blade guards in place.
5.POWER DISCONNECT. Do all inspec- tions, adjustments, and maintenance with the power off and the circuit breaker shut off. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
6.DULL BLADES. Do not operate with dull or badly worn blades. Dull blades place more demand on the motor and are less likely to cut precisely. Inspect blades before each use.
7.BLADE REPLACEMENT. Make sure the teeth face toward the front of the saw when replacing blades.
8.BLADE TENSION. Make sure blade is prop- erly tensioned before operating machine.
9.BLADE SPEED. Blade should be running at full speed before beginning a cut.

11.MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS. This machine is not designed to cut metal or any other material besides wood.
12.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Cuts should always be fully supported against the guide rollers and by the pressure rollers.
13.WORKPIECE DIRECTION. 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 exces- sive stress on blade while backing work away.
14.STOPPING THE BLADE. Do not manually stop or slow blade after turning the saw
OFF.
15.UNATTENDED MACHINE. Allow the resaw to come to a complete stop before leaving it unattended.
Like all machines there is danger associ- ated with the Model G0503. 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.
