manual BEFORE
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-
able for cutting.
2. Adjusts fence away from blade the same
width of desired cut and then locks it in place.
3.
Adjusts table tilt, if necessary, to correct
angle of desired cut.
4.
Adjusts blade guide height to approximately
1" from top of workpiece.
5. Checks to make sure workpiece can safely
pass all the way through the blade without
interference from other objects.
6.
Puts on safety glasses.
7.
Starts dust collector and bandsaw.
8. Holds workpiece firmly and flatly against
table and fence, and then pushes workpiece
into blade at a steady and controlled rate until
workpiece moves completely beyond blade.
Note: The operator is very careful to keep fin-
gers away from blade and uses a push stick
to feed narrow workpieces.
9.
Stops bandsaw and removes workpiece
when blade is completely stopped.
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
