THINK SAFETY!
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF
OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND
ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN
THE BANDSAW IS BEING USED.
WARNING!
Do not allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your band saw) to
become commonplace. Always
remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe
injury
WEAR YOUR SAFETY
GOGGLES!
The operation of any power tool can
result in foreign objects being thrown
into the eyes. Put on your safety
goggles before you start your machine.
TOOL USE:
1. Do not force the tool or any
attachment to do a job for which it
is not intended.
2. Use the right tool for the right job.
This will be a better and safer
result.
3. Secure your workpiece properly.
Use clamps or a vice when
practical. It is safer than using
your hand and will enable you to
have both hands to operate your
saw.
4. Never leave a machine
unattended while running, always
turn off the power. Do not leave
the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
5. Do not remove jammed or cutoff
pieces until the tool comes to a
complete stop.
6. Maintain the proper blade
tension, blade guides and thrust
bearing adjustments.
7. Adjust the upper blade guide to
just clear the workpiece.
8. Ensure the workpiece is held
firmly against the table.
TOOL CARE:
1. Maintain your machine with care.
Ensure blades are sharp and
effective. Keep your machine
clean for a better and safer
performance. Follow proper
instructions regarding lubrication
and changing accessories.
2. Do not alter or misuse your
machine. These machines are
precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is
misuse and could result in a
dangerous condition.
3. Do not operate any electric tools
in a gaseous or explosive
atmosphere. Machine motors
spark and may result in ignition of
flammable gases.
