HOW TO USE A PORTABLE BAND SAW
1.
Verify material to be cut is firmly held to prevent movement.
2.
Set Two-Speed switch to desired position. Speed CAN be changed while
machine is running.
3.
Hold the saw as shown in Fig. 5, with the work stop (A) contacting the
work and blade teeth clear of the work.
4.
Turn saw "ON" and lower onto work. Allow weight of saw to control
cutting pressure. Additional pressure will slow down speed of the blade and
reduce cutting efficiency.
5.
Hold saw straight in the cut. Any twisting or cocking of the blade results
in shorter blade life.
6.
CAUTION: Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after being cut off.
7.
At completion of cut DO NOT allow saw to fall against work. HOLD SAW
SECURELY.
8.
Fig. 6 shows the proper cutting position for various shapes.
