SPECIAL SAFETY RULES FOR BAND SAWS

 

1.  Always stop the band saw before removing scrap pieces from table.

 2.  Always keep hands and fingers away from the blade.

 3.  Never attempt to saw stock that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.

 4.  Always hold material firmly and feed it into the blade at a moderate speed.

 5.  Always turn off the machine if the material is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.

 6.  Check for proper blade size and type for thickness and type of material being cut.

 7.  Make sure that the blade tension and blade tracking are properly adjusted.

 8.  Make “relief” cuts before cutting long curves.

 9.  Release blade tension when the saw will not be used for a long period of time.

10. Note and follow the safety warnings and instructions that appear on the lower door of this saw.

Never Overreach. 

Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.

Never Stand on Tools. 

Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

 

Always Disconnect Tools.

Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters.

Always Avoid Accidental Staring. 

Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in cord.

Never Leave Tools Running Unattended.

Always Wear Proper Apparel. 

Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that might get caught in moving parts. Rubber-soled footwear is recommended 

for the best footing.

Always Use Safety Glasses and Wear Hearing Protection. 

Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

Always Check for Damaged Parts.

Before initial or continual use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be checked to assure 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 damaged parts 

should immediately be properly repaired or replaced.
