27. Keep safety guards in place at all times when
machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace
the guards immediately after completion of
maintenance.
28. Check damaged parts. Before further use of
machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
29. Keep floor around machine clean and free of
scrap material, oil and grease.
30. Keep visitors a safe distance from work area.
Keep children away.
31. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
32. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in
serious injury.
33. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall into blade or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.
34. Use the right tool at the correct speed and
feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed. The
right tool will do the job better and more safely.
35. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
36. Maintain tools with care. Keep blades sharp
and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

or compressed air to remove chips or debris —
not your hands.

occur if machine tips over.

Turn power off and do not leave band saw until
blade comes to a complete stop.
40. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from area before starting machine.

42. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Do not
expose machine to rain or use in wet or damp
locations. Keep work area well lighted.
