12. Disconnect all power sources: Before performing any service, maintenance, adjustments or when
changing blades. A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used
until the maintenance is complete.
13. Job completion: If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, the bandsaw should be
turned "off" and the blade should come to a complete stop before their departure.
14. Replacement parts: Use only genuine Oliver Machinery factory authorized replacement parts and
accessories; otherwise the warranty and guarantee is null and void.
15. Misuse: Do not use this Oliver bandsaw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,
Oliver disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which
may result from that use.

substance other then wood.
18. Never start the saw while a workpiece is in contact with the blade.
19. Make sure the blade is running in the proper direction. The teeth should be pointing down at the
point the blade enters the table viewing from the front of the saw.
20. Health hazards: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
 Lead from lead-based paint.
 Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
 Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
