ORS!
1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR
BADLY WORN BLADES.
Dull blades
require more demand on the motor and are
less likely to cut precisely. Inspect blades
before each use.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR THUMBS
IN LINE WITH THE CUT. Serious personal
injury could occur.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW
WITHOUT WHEEL GUARDS, PULLEY
GUARDS, AND BLADE GUARDS IN
PLACE.
4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure
the teeth face toward the front of the saw.
5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY
SUPPORTED against the side of the con-
veyor table and by the pressure rollers.
6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY
from the blade while the saw is running.
If you need to back the work out, stop the
bandsaw and wait for the blade to stop. DO
NOT twist or put excessive stress on blade
while backing work away.
7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning a cut.
8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. DO NOT change conveyor
speeds during a cut.
