SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Some wood and wood type products, especially MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
can produce dust that can be hazardous to your health. We recommend the use of an
approved face mask with replaceable filters when using this machine in addition to us-
ing the dust extraction facility.
2. Approved safety glasses or goggles and ear defenders must be worn when using the
saw.
3. Ensure that the band saw is securely fastened to its base and wherever possible se-
cure the base to the floor - When selecting a location for the band saw consideration
needs to be given to the size of material to be cut and the area around the Band Saw.
4. Do Not attempt to use for wet cutting operations a fatal electric shock could occur.
This machine is to be used for dry cutting only.
5. Do Not over tension the drive belt, the drive belt will last longer if the tension is re-
leased after each use.
6. Do Not allow sawdust to build up around the motor or inside the machine. A build
up of sawdust is a fire hazard.
7. Do Not stop the blade by forcing the work piece against it or by using sideways
pressure.
8. Keep Guards in place and in good working order.
9. Always ensure that the blade guide rollers are set correctly.
10. Do Not start the machine with the blade in contact with the work piece.
11. Check the work piece for any protruding nails, screw heads or anything that could
damage the blade.
12. Do Not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any way.
13. Do Not use excessive force when feeding the work piece to the blade, feeding the
work piece gradually will reduce wear on the machine and blade, increasing its effi-
ciency and operating life.
14. For your safety; remove the chippings and work debris etc. from the table top and
from inside the extraction port before each operation.
15. Keep hands out of path of saw blade, never reach around saw blade.
16. Before making the first cut using the saw, let it run for a while; Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. Adjust or
replace as necessary.
16. Allow the blade to run up to full speed before cutting.
17. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
18. Wait for the saw blade to stop completely and remove the plug from the mains
supply before servicing or adjusting tool.
19. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don't be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
20. Use of improper accessories may cause damage to the saw and surrounding area
as well as increasing the risk of injury.
21. Turn off the saw and wait for it to complete stop before moving work-piece or
changing settings.
