Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches / adjusters are
removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until they
have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is
explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common
cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment
Bandsaw Safety
WARNING: Do not use saw bands which are damaged, excessively worn or deformed. Doing
so could cause the band to rupture, and be projected in the area of the operator.
WARNING: Do not operate the bandsaw, when the guarding protecting the saw band is open.
The saw band mechanism is dangerous when in motion.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean the saw band when it is in motion. If tool cleaning Is
required, switch off the machine and wait for the saw to stop moving before commencing cleaning
procedures.
WARNING: Always ensure the blade guard is fully down during transportation. An
exposed saw blade is dangerous, and could potentially harm the operator or bystanders during
transportation.
WARNING: Do not use a bandsaw with a worn table insert. The table insert provides support
to the workpiece local to the cut, a worn table insert will give inadequate support.
WARNING: Never use the guards for holding during transportation. Hold the bandsaw at a
structurally reinforced area, that is suitable for holding during transportation.
