The following tips will help you safely and effectively operate your bandsaw and help you get the maximum life out of your saw blades.

›Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length (see

=`^li\)').

•Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to ensure a straight cut through the material.

•Allow the blade reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Never start a cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece (see =`^li\)().

•Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips are thin and powder like, increase your feed rate (refer to the D\kXc:_`g@ejg\Zk`fe:_Xik on GX^\).).

•If the chips are burned, reduce the blade speed.

•Wait until the blade has completely stopped before removing the workpiece from the vise, and avoid touching the cut end—it could be very hot!

•Workpieces that cannot be properly supported or stabilized without a vise should not be cut in the vertical position. Examples are chains, cables, round or oblong-shaped workpieces, workpieces with internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.

•Make sure that the vertical table assembly is securely fastened to the bandsaw frame so it will adequately support the workpiece.

•Always keep your fingers away from the blade and always hold the workpiece securely in your hand (=`^li\))).

•Adjust the blade guides as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.

NOTICE

Release the blade tension at the end of the day to prolong blade life.
