(% 9cX[\:fe[`k`fe1 Do not operate with a dull, cracked or badly worn blade—they can break during
use or greatly decrease cutting performance. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use.
)% 9cX[\I\gcXZ\d\ek1 Wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes when
replacing the blade. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face forward and down toward the
table in the direction of blade travel.
*% Nfibg`\Z\?Xe[c`e^1 Your hands can be cut or drawn into the blade during operation if the
workpiece moves unexpectedly. Always keep your hands a safe distance away from the moving
blade.
+% DX^e\j`ld=`i\?XqXi[1 Use EXTREME CAUTION if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting
fluid or overheating material could lead to an extremely hot fire that is difficult to extinguish.
Additionally, do not allow magnesium swarf or dust to pile up around the machine and only dispose
of the waste using approved methods.
,% ?fkJli]XZ\j1 Be aware that touching hot workpieces or chips after welding, grinding, or cutting
can cause burns.
-% :lkk`e^=cl`[JX]\kp1 If cutting fluid is used for operations, only use the minimum amount
necessary, and promptly clean it from the machine and work area after use. Cutting fluid is
associated with skin disease, lung damage, and cancer. Avoid breathing, ingesting, or touching
cutting fluid and always wear approved personal protective equipment when using or cleaning it.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommendation to ensure safe and appropriate use.
.% <ekXe^c\d\ek?XqXi[j1 Always keep the blade guard correctly positioned and wheel doors closed
and secured when bandsaw is in operation. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can
be drawn into working parts.
/% LejkXYc\Nfibg`\Z\j1 Workpieces that cannot be supported or stabilized without a vise or jig
should not be cut on a vertical metal-cutting bandsaw, because they can unexpectedly move while
cutting and draw the operator's hands into the blade causing serious personal injury. Examples are
chains, cables, round or oblong-shaped workpieces, workpieces with internal or built-in moving or
rotations parts, etc.

by hand or with a rag. Use a brush or vacuum to clear metal chips.
