Operation Overview
to complete a typical cutting operation, the
operator does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Raises the headstock, then closes the
downfeed valve.
3. Adjusts the headstock angle for the type of
cut, then securely clamps the workpiece in
the vise.
4. Adjusts the guide post to within 1" of the
workpiece, and verifies that the blade is
properly tensioned.
5. Adjusts the downfeed rate adjust knob for
the correct feed rate.
6. Makes sure the workpiece and bandsaw are
stable and that there are no obstructions in
the way of the cut.
7. Puts on safety glasses.
8. Starts the bandsaw and waits for the blade
to reach full speed.
9. Opens the downfeed valve to lower the head
and blade into the workpiece, then allows
the bandsaw to complete the cut.
10. Once the bandsaw has stopped, raises the
head, and removes the workpieces.
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
During operation, small
metal chips may become
airborne, leading to serious
eye injury. Wear safety
glasses to reduce this risk.
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before beginning
any operations.
The purpose of this overview is to provide
the novice machine operator with a basic
understanding of how the machine is used during
operation, so they can more easily understand
the controls discussed later in this manual.
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview,
it is not intended to be an instructional guide
for performing actual machine operations.
To learn more about specific operations and
machining techniques, seek training from people
experienced with this type of machine, and do
additional research outside of this manual by
reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or
websites.
