4. MAKE SURE THE BLADE TEETH POINT DOWN AND TOWARD THE TABLE.
5. BLADE GUIDE, SUPPORTS, BEARINGS AND BLADE TENSION must be properly adjusted in
order to avoid accidental blade contact, and to minimize blade breakage. To maximize blade
support, always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard so that it barely clears the
workpiece.
6. TABLE LOCK HANDLE SHOULD BE TIGHT.
7. USE EXTRA CAUTION with very large, very small, or awkward workpieces.
8. USE EXTRA SUPPORTS to prevent workpieces from sliding off the tabletop. Never use
another person in place of a table extension, or to provide additional support for the workpiece.
9. WORKPIECES SHOULD BE SECURED so that they do not twist, rock, or slip while being cut.
10. PLAN INTRICATE OR SMALL WORK CAREFULLY in order to avoid pinching the blade.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions in order to prevent accidental contact with the
blade.
11. SMALL PIECES SHOULD BE SECURED with clamps or fixtures. Do not hold small pieces
with your hand, because your fingers might go under the blade guard.
12. SUPPORT ROUND WORK PROPERLY (use a V block, or press it against the mitre gauge)
to prevent it from rolling and the blade from biting.
13. CUT ONLY ONE WORKPIECE AT A TIME. Make sure the table is clear of everything except
the workpiece and its guides before you turn the saw on.
14. ALWAYS WATCH THE SAW RUN BEFORE EACH USE. If there is excessive vibration or
unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw off, and unplug it immediately. Do not start the saw
again until the problem has been located and corrected.
15. TO FREE JAMMED MATERIAL, turn the switch off. Remove the switch key, and unplug the
saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop before removing the jammed material.
16. DON’T LEAVE THE WORK AREA UNTIL ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE STOPPED. Shut off
the power to master switches. Remove the switch key from the band saw, and store it in a safe
place, away from children. Childproof the workshop!
