BAND SAW -CT015N- SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A band saw may not appear to be a dangerous tool but it is always important to use
consideration and caution during its operation: remember, a band saw can sever a
finger just as easily and quickly as a table saw.
Please take the necessary precautions to ensure the safe operation of your band saw.
• ALWAYS ensure that the blade tension is properly set for the type and width of blade
installed.
• ALWAYS ensure that the guide blocks are properly set to prevent blade wander.
• ALWAYS make certain that the bearings are properly adjusted to guide the blade.
• ALWAYS ensure that the band saw teeth are pointing in a downward direction.
• ALWAYS ensure that the band saw blade guard is no more than 1/2” above your
stock.
• ALWAYS turn OFF the machine if you are backing out a cut.
• Make relief cuts before cutting short curves.
• NEVER turn ON the band saw if the blade is in contact with your stock.
• DO NOT attempt to remove jammed pieces unless the band saw has come to a
complete stop and the power switch has been turned to the OFF position.
