Much safer way!
Work is fully supported.
Figure 11 Represents a supported workpiece.
26. Use relief cuts when sawing curved pieces.
27. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade into cutting, especially
when sawing small radii.
28. DO NOT stop saw prematurely by putting a piece of wood against blade.
29. Bandsaw blades can break easier if operated under cold conditions. It's a good idea not to
operate the saw below 45° F.
30. Any modification of this bandsaw is strictly the decision of the owner/operator and is done at
your own risk.
31. Always keep this machine in good condition. A periodic check of all the parts of the machine
should be performed routinely.
32. This saw is not capable of cutting metal. Don't attempt to force it to do this; at best, you will be
frustrated; at worst, you wil I ruin the equipment and/or injure yourself. We do sell equipment
that cuts metal quite well, so if this is your need of the moment, please write or call, and we'll
be more than glad to get you off on the right foot. Fair enough?
33. Wood waste is combustible, and wood dust can be explosive! Persons operating this
equipment should not smoke while doing so; you need both of your hands for best control,
anyway. Smoking and/or open fires should not be allowed of persons in the area, either.
34. Thoroughly clean machine and surrounding area at the conclusion of each use.
35. Perform machine maintenance services promptly when called for. We will discuss these in
detail in the Maintenance Section.
36. If you are taking any kind of a drug or medication, whether medically prescribed or if you have
consumed any alcoholic beverage, do not operate this saw!
37. If this saw will be set up in a location where it is likely that children will see it and/or have
access to it, we strongly recommend that the electrical supply be set up utilizing a "hard¬
wire" method that terminates in a lockable master switch. Any electrician can do this for a
nominal price. The peace of mind this will buy, particularly if the saw must share an area with
other family activities, is priceless.
