Checklist
Initially when using the vertical Bandsaw, there are steps to ensure you are using the tool as safely as possible:
Make sure that your safety glasses are on
Get the piece that you want to cut
Make sure there is sufficient room around the saw for your workpiece.
If you are cutting a smaller piece, have a push stick ready and within easy reach.
Adjust the blade guard height using the black knob closest to your right.
Make sure the blade is not too high from the piece you are actually cutting
Allow some distance between the piece and your blade before turning on the machine.
Turn on the machine and slowly begin to push the piece into the blade until it is cut to your liking.
Remember to keep your fingers away from the blade!
If you are using a larger piece, place your hands on the side of your workpiece where the blade is not cutting.
Turn off the machine and clean up any shavings left behind.
