Keep your hands on either side of the blade – not in line with the cutting line and the blade. Use a push stick when you remove cut pieces from between the fence and saw blade or when your hands are close to the blade.Hold stock firmly and flat on the table to prevent the stock from turning and drawing your fingers against the blade.Keep hands away from the line of the cut, and braced against the table.Use band saw blades that are sharp, properly set and otherwise suitable for the job (e.g., the right tooth pitch tooth form blade width).A band saw equipped with automatic tension control is desirable. Ensure the blade is under proper tension.Ensure the blade is tracking correctly and runs freely in and against the upper and lower guide rollers.Wider gaps will place tension on the blade and increase the risk of breaking. Adjust blade guard height to about 3 mm or 1/8 inch to 6mm or 1/4 inch above the top of the material being cut.Make sure the blade is positioned properly on the track.Make sure the wheels and blade are in good condition.Make sure all band wheels are enclosed.Make sure all guards are in place and properly adjusted.Tie back your hair, remove jewellery, and wear fitted clothes to avoid getting caught or pulled by the moving blade.Wear protective footwear when required.Wear hearing protection that is suitable for the level and frequency of the noise you are exposed to in the woodworking area.Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or goggles).For international returns, please click here.
