Note: When cutting with the table at an angle other than 90° to the blade, always use the Fence
(20) on the lower side of the table.
• For general cutting, follow the pattern lines by pushing and turning the workpiece at the same
time
• To achieve a curved radius cut, follow the pattern line with the blade while turning the workpiece.
The blade should cut in the middle of the pattern line
• Use both hands to feed the work through the blade
• Make sure you hold the workpiece firmly against the work table
• Use light forward pressure and do not force the workpiece against the bandsaw table
• When cutting small workpieces that have insufficient area to hold, or do not protrude over the
edge of the Work Table (15), use the provided push-stick to feed the workpiece into the blade
Note: Always keep the push-stick nearby, so that it is readily available for use whilst cutting and
keep the push-stick away from the any conflict with blade.
