Model SB1018

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.
