Band Saw
1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, safety
goggles, face shields, gloves and proper clothing as appropriate.
2. No loose clothing, long hair or jewelry is allowed in the shop.
3. Do not operate the band saw without the instructor’s permission.
4. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for changing tool accessories.
5. Be aware of the position of the on/off switches and emergency STOP button.
6. Make all adjustments with the power off.
7. Use both hands and keep fingers at least 10cm (4") from the blade at all times;
adjust guard prior to turning the saw on.
8. Keep upper guide less than 5mm (1/4") from the material being cut.
9. Plan your cuts carefully. Saw curves gradually. Sudden twists may cause the
blade to bind or break. Use relief cuts if necessary.
10. If the blade breaks, turn the power off immediately and step back. Inform the
instructor immediately.
11. Always make short cuts first. Avoid backing out of cuts with the power on. Backing
out of a cut may cause the blade to come off of the drive wheel.
12. Do not cut cylindrical stock without the use of a V block clamp.
13. Remove scrap pieces from the table only after the blade has stopped.
AT ALL TIMES – IF IN DOUBT, SEE YOUR INSTRUCTOR
