For Machines Mfg. Since 8/09

Model SB1020

1.  Blade Condition. A dull or damaged 

blade can break apart during operation, 

increasing the risk of operator injury. Do 

not operate with a dull, cracked or badly 

worn blade. Inspect the blade for cracks or 

missing teeth before each use.

2.  Hand placement. Hands could be cut 

by the blade or crushed when lowering 

the headstock. Never position fingers or 

thumbs in line with the cut or under the 

headstock while it is moving. 

3.  Blade guard. Hands and fingers can easily 

be cut by the bandsaw blade. To reduce the 

risk of laceration injuries, do not operate 

this bandsaw without the blade guard in 

place. 

4.  Starting position. To reduce the 

likelihood of blade breakage and possible 

entanglement, never turn the saw ON 

with the blade resting on the workpiece.

5.  Blade Replacement. The blade can only 

make a safe and efficient cut if the teeth 

are facing the workpiece. When replacing 

blades, make sure the teeth face toward 

the workpiece. Wear gloves to protect 

hands and safety glasses to protect eyes.

6.  Workpiece Handling. A shifting workpiece 

can result in impact or laceration injuries. 

To reduce the risk of injury, always securely 

clamp the workpiece in the vise and use 

additional support fixtures if needed. Never 

hold the workpiece with your hands during 

a cut. Flag long pieces to reduce the risk of 

tripping over them. 

7.  power interruption. Unplug the machine 

and turn the power switch OFF after a 

power interruption. If left plugged in and 

turned ON, this machine will start up when 

power is restored, resulting in possible 

entanglement, laceration, or amputation 

hazards.

8.  Hot Surfaces/Sharp Edges. Due to the 

cutting process, a freshly cut workpiece, 

chips, and some machine components can be 

hot enough to burn you and sharp enough to 

cut you. Allow components to cool and use 

safe handling methods to reduce the risk of 

these injuries.

9.  Moving Blade. A moving bandsaw blade 

presents a serious risk for laceration or 

amputation injuries. Always allow the blade 

to come to a complete stop before mounting 

or repositioning a workpiece in the vise. 

Never touch a moving blade.
