SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CX108N is perfect for cutting various types
of wood.
ALWAYS INSPECT the blade for any cracked
or missing teeth before operating the band
saw.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the blade tension is
properly set for the type and width of blade
installed.
NEVER place your fingers or hands in the
line of cut. If you slip, your hands or fingers
may come into contact with the blade. Al-
ways use a push stick when ripping narrow
pieces.
DO NOT back the work-piece away from the
blade while cutting. Always turn off the ma-
chine if you are backing out a cut.
ALL GUARDS must be in place while operat-
ing the band saw to ensure safety.
ALWAYS FEED the stock smoothly. Do not
force or twist the work-piece while cutting.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the band saw blade
guard is no more than 1/2" above the stock.
The safety instructions given above can not be complete because the environment in every shop is
