NOTICE!
This tool is only for cutting wood and certain types of plastics, no metal ever. We have a metal working area for any metal working needs you may have
Safety Policies for the Bandsaw
- Wear Safety Glasses at all times.
- Do not remove the blade guard, or run the saw with the blade guard 100% out of the way unless your workpiece calls for it.
- Tie back any loose hair.
- Remove any bracelets, dangling necklaces, long sleeves, etc.
- This saw can hurt you if you do not pay attention to where your hands are at all times. Use a push stick when you need to get close to the blade.
Saw Setup and Use
- Tension the blade.
- Set blade guard to desired height. Always cut with the guard in place to protect yourself.
- Turn on dust collection and open the blast gate for the saw
- When ready turn the saw on and begin your work
- Clean off saw once completed, brush or vacuum off dust.
- Turn off dust collection and close the blast gate
- Detention the blade
- This will ensure the band saw wheel tires do not flat spot or wear out the tension spring prematurely. You only need to do this once you are done using it for the day.
