1. To avoid injury from unexpected movement, make
sure the saw is on a firm, level surface, properly
secured to prevent rocking. Make sure there is
adequate space for operations. Bolt the saw to a
support surface to prevent slipping or sliding
during operation.
2. Turn off and unplug the saw before moving it.
3. Use the correct size and style of blade.
4. Make sure the blade teeth point down and toward
the table.
5. Blade guide, supports, bearings, and blade
tension must be properly adjusted to avoid
accidental blade contact and to minimize blade
breakage. To maximize blade support, always
adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard so
that it barely clears the workpiece.
6. The table tilt lock handle should be tight.
7. Use extra caution with very large, very small, or
awkward workpieces.
8. Use extra supports to prevent workpieces from
sliding off the table top.
9. Workpieces should be secured so they don't twist,
rock, or slip while being cut.
10. Plan intricate or small work carefully to avoid
pinching the blade. Avoid awkward operations
and hand positions to prevent accidental contact
with the blade.
11. Small pieces should be secured with clamps or
fixtures. Do not hold small pieces with your hand
because your fingers might go under the blade
guard.
12. Support round work properly (use a V block or
press it against the miter gauge) to prevent it from
rolling and the blade from biting.
Specific Safety Rules for Band Saws
13. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Make sure the
table is clear of everything except the workpiece
and its guides before you turn the saw on.
14. Always watch the saw run before each use. If
there is excessive vibration, saw blade stuttering,
or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw
off. Unplug it immediately. Do not start the saw
again until the problem has been located and
corrected.
15. To free any jammed material, turn the switch off.
Remove the switch key and unplug the saw.
Wait for all moving parts to stop before removing
the jammed material.
16. Do not leave the work area until all moving parts
have stopped. Shut off the power to master
switches. Remove the switch key from the band
saw and store it in a safe place, away from
children. Childproof the workshop!
17. Maintain proper adjustment of blade tension,
blade alignment, blade guides and thrust
bearings.
18. Adjust upper guide to 1/8" above workpiece
before cutting.
19. Hold workpiece firmly against table.
20. Use recommended blade and speed for
workpiece material.
21. Before, starting, be certain the motor, table,
attachments and adjustment knobs are secured.
22. Do not operate with wheel cover door open.
23. Unplug saw before making blade changes,
adjustments or repairs.
24. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
