Wear appropriate PPE (Safety Glasses and Hearing Protection).
The saw guide must be adjusted within one-fourth inch of stock to be cut before power is turned on.
Do not allow fingers to come closer than two inches to saw when cutting stock.
Do not allow hands across the saw line when operating bandsaw.
Do not stand at right hand side of bandsaw machine. A serious accident might result if saw should break.
If necessary to back saw out of a long cut, power should first be turned off and machine allowed to come to a dead stop.
Be sure the radius of your cutting is not too small for the width of the blade of the saw.
Cylindrical stock must never be cut on bandsaw.
Stock must not be cut on the bandsaw unless such material is firmly supported against downward thrust of the saw. Do not saw into the toe of a long bevel cut unless the toe is on the table.
If bandsaw blade should break while machine is in operation immediately shut off power before changing blade. A rhythmic click may indicate a cracked blade. Shut off the machine and change out blade.
If help is needed to support heavy or long work, the helper should never pull or guide the work. He supports the weight, the operator runs the machine.
