SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-

of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components

in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and
seek additional training from expe
machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
Damage to your eyes and lungs could result
from using this machine without proper pro-
tective gear. Always wear safety glasses and

To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before operating.
NOTICE

To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Adjusts the fence for the width of the cut and
then locks it in place.
3. Adjusts the table tilt, if necessary, to the cor-
rect angle of the desired cut.
4. Loosens the guide post lock knob, adjusts
the upper blade guide height to just clear
the workpiece (no more than
1
⁄4"), then re-
tightens the guide post lock knob.
5. Checks to make sure the workpiece can safe-
ly pass all the way through the blade without
interference from other objects.
6. Puts on safety glasses and a respirator.
7. Starts the dust collector and bandsaw.
8. Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against
both the table and fence, and then pushes
the workpiece into the blade at a steady and
controlled rate until the cut is complete.
The operator is very careful to keep fingers
away from the blade and uses a push stick to
feed narrow workpieces.
9. Stops the bandsaw.
