OPERATION

HORIZONTAL CUTTING
• Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut
multiple pieces of stock to the same length.
• Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to ensure
a straight cut through the material.
• Let the blade reach full speed before engaging
the workpiece. Never start a cut with the blade
in contact with the workpiece.
• Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips
are thin and powder like, increase your feed rate.
• If the chips are burned, reduce the blade speed.
• Wait until the blade has completely stopped before
removing the workpiece from the vise, and avoid
touching the cut end—it could be very hot!
VERTICAL CUTTING
• Workpieces that cannot be properly supported
or stabilized without a vise should not be cut in
the vertical position
• Make sure that the vertical table assembly is
securely fastened to the band saw frame so
it will adequately support the workpiece.
• Always keep your fingers away from the blade
• Adjust the blade guides as close as possible to
the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.
To assemble the bandsaw for vertical cutting:
1. Disconnect band saw from power.
2. Install the safety bracket
and lock it in place with
the pin to keep
the saw
from falling.
