MAKING THE CUT
Make sure band saw trigger switch is in OFF position.
Connect saw to power source. Only use the vise at heights where a firm
grip can be maintained on the saw handle throughout the cut.
Always wear eye protection to minimize the risk of eye
injury.
1. Grasp band saw handle and lift so blade is clear of workpiece.
2. Depress trigger switch to start saw. Make any necessary speed
adjustment.
3. Slowly lower saw until blade engages work. Maintain a firm grip on
saw handle while saw completes the cut under its own weight. DO NOT
FORCE the saw through the workpiece. Support saw weight as cut is
completed.
NOTE: During the first cut, the index pin (A) Fig. 5 will also be cut OFF.
On subsequent cuts, the index pin is used to accurately position the
vise to the workpiece so that the cut will follow a predetermined line.
4. As soon as the cut is completed, release trigger switch and
disconnect saw from power source.
5. Remove safety clip and lift saw from work vise.
6. Release clamp and remove work vise from workpiece.
