Before making cuts to the workpiece, it is important
that all safety precautions and bandsaw adjustments are
addressed.

(% Select and install the required blade (refer to
9cX[\J\c\Zk`fe on GX^\)+).
)% Select the required cutting speed (refer to 9cX[\
Jg\\[ on GX^\)*).
*% Raise and lock the headstock, so the blade is
approximately 3" from the workpiece, and open the
vise to accept the workpiece.
Note: NEVER let the saw blade rest on the workpiece
without the saw running. Otherwise, you will
permanently damage the saw blade!
+% Insert the workpiece into the vise, so the blade
will contact the flattest part of the workpiece
first, and clamp the workpiece in the vise.
