Tips for Better Cutting
The following recommendations should be used as a guide
(refer to Recommended Cutting Positions). Results may vary
with the operator and the particular material being cut.
• Never twist the band saw blade during cutting operation.
• Never use liquid coolants with portable band saws.
Use of liquid coolants will cause build‑up on tires and
reduce performance.
• If excessive vibration occurs during the cut, ensure that
the material being cut is is securely clamped down. If
vibration continues, change the band saw blade.
• Always keep at least 2–3 teeth engaged in the cut.
