How to Cut
1. Secure your work piece to a workbench or other solid surface.
2. Make sure the cord is out of the way.
3. Set the Guide Bar (63) against the work piece.
4. Turn on the Bandsaw and allow it to come up to full speed before starting the cut.
5. Tilt the unit so that the blade is vertical as shown in Figure B. Cut objects from the flattest
side, where the most teeth of the bandsaw will contact the workpiece at the beginning of
the cut.

6. When the motor turns on, the blade will begin turning in a counterclockwise direction and
begin cutting.

7. Do not apply force to the tool by exerting too much hand pressure or leaning into it. The
weight of the tool itself creates enough force to make a clean cut. Be patient. Forcing or
leaning on the tool may twist or break the blade, damaging the saw and possibly causing
injury.
8. As you reach the end of your workpiece, finish off the cut by slightly raising the unit slowly,
bringing the blade up.
