Starting Bandsaw
Never operate the bandsaw without the
proper blade guards and guides in place.
Unprotected or unguided blades can
cause injury to the operator and damage
the machine or workpiece.
To start a cutting operation on the bandsaw:
1. Make sure all guards and blade guides are in
place and secure.
2. Make sure the blade is not in contact with the
material.
3. Clamp the material securely in the vise if you
are using the stand.
4. Connect the bandsaw to the power source.
5. Press in the orange thumb button and pull
the trigger to start the bandsaw.
6. Begin the cut by slowly letting the head down
onto the workpiece. DO NOT DROP OR
FORCE BLADE THROUGH THE MATERI-
AL.
7. When the cut has been completed, release
the trigger and let the saw come to a com-
plete stop before removing the workpiece
from the vise.
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of
cut. In the event that something unexpected
happens, your hands or fingers may be
pulled into the blade. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in serious personal
injury!
