4. As shown in Figure 8, straight cutting can be accomplished by
keeping the band saw blade aligned with the side surface of the
motor housing. Any twisting or cocking of the blade will cause the
cut to go offl ine and decrease the life of the blade.
FIG. 8
NOTICE: During cutting, if the band saw becomes locked or jammed
in the workpiece material, release the switch immediately to avoid
damage to the band saw blade and motor.
5. The tool’s own weight provides the most effi cient downward cutting
pressure. Added operator pressure slows the blade and reduces
blade life.
6. End pieces, which would be heavy enough to cause injury when
they drop, after cut-off, should be supported. Safety shoes are
strongly recommended. End pieces may be hot and sharp.
7. Hold the saw fi rmly in both hands so that the saw does not fall
against clamped or supported material when the cut is completed.
