2. General Health & Safety Guidance - cont.

Safe Operation
1. Familiarise yourself with the machine

 

•  Machining operations using bandsaws have a history of serious 

accidents. Most result from contact with the moving blade while 
presenting material to the blade or moving it from the table. Other 
minor accidents can occur whilst setting, cleaning, adjusting or 
maintaining the machine.

•  The machine is designed for cutting wood and composite board 

(plywood, MDF etc.). Certain plastics can also be cut using a 
suitable blade.

2. Before switching the machine ‘ON’ 

•  Ensure that the blade is correctly tensioned and aligned on the 

bandwheels and the blade guides are correctly adjusted. 

• Ensure that the teeth of the blade are pointing downwards.
•  Check the condition of the blade to ensure that no teeth are 

missing, damaged or deformed and the blade is not cracked or split. 
If any of these conditions apply, replace the blade immediately.

•  Ensure that the saw blade type and width are suitable for the 

material to be cut.

•  Check that the blade width is within the minimum and maximum 

permitted on the machine and that the thickness of the blade is 
suitable for the diameter of the wheel.

•  Some machines have more than one cutting speed. For most wood 

cutting applications the faster of the speeds should be used.  

•  Check the condition of the table insert. Replace it immediately if it 

is damaged or showing signs of wear. 

• Adjust the guard as close as possible to the work piece being cut. 
•  Check that access doors are fully closed and that the latches  

are secure.

3. Whilst machining 

•  Never apply sideways pressure to the blade as this may cause the 

blade to break.

•  Care must be taken when cutting wood with knots, nails or cracks 

in it and / or dirt on it, as these can cause the blade to get stuck. 
If this happens, switch the machine ‘OFF’ immediately and follow 
the procedure detailed in the manual to remove the blade from the 
work piece.

•   If cutting cylindrical timber use a suitable jig to prevent twisting of 

the work piece.

 This machine falls under the scope of the ‘Health & Safety at 

Work etc. Act 1974’, and the ‘Provision & Use of Work Equipment 
Regulations 1998’. In addition the elimination or control of risks from 
wood dust is included in the above regulations and the ‘Control of 
Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002’. We 
recommend that you study and follow these regulations.
Further guidance can be found in the ‘Safety in the use of narrow 
bandsaws – Woodworking sheet No.31’ and the ‘Safe use of 
woodworking machinery’ code of practice booklet (L114) published 
by Health & Safety Executive and available from their  
website www.hse.gov.uk.  

3. Additional Health & Safety Guidance for Bandsaws

guards in place.

27. Maintain your machine with care

 

•   This manual gives clear instructions on installation, set up and 

operation of the machine and also details any routine and 
preventative maintenance that should be performed periodically by 
the user.

•   Remember always to switch off and unplug the machine from the 

power supply before carrying out any setting up or  
maintenance operations.

•   Follow any instructions for the maintenance of accessories  

and consumables.

•   Do not use compressed air to clean the machine. Always use a brush 

to dislodge dust in places that are awkward to reach and a dust 
extractor to collect the waste.

•   Inspect electric cables periodically and, if damaged, have them 

replaced by an authorised service facility or qualified electrician.

•   Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and replace  

if damaged. 

28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean

 

•   Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control and less 

likely to bind.

•   Cutting tools and blades can become hot during use. Take extreme 

care when handling them and always allow them to cool before 
changing, adjusting or sharpening them.

29. Disconnect the machine from the power supply 

•   When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. always 

disconnect the machine from the power supply.

30. Check for damaged parts 

•   Before each use of the machine, it should be carefully checked to 

determine that it will operate properly and perform its  
intended function.

•   Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect the 
operation of the machine.

•   A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired 

or replaced by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this 
instruction manual. 

•   Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn the machine 

‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.

•  Have defective switches replaced by a qualified person.

31. Warning!

 

•   The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those 

recommended in this instruction manual, or recommended by our 
Company may present a risk of personal injury or damage to the 
machine and invalidation of the warranty.

32. Have your machine repaired by a qualified person 

•   This machine complies with the relevant safety rules and 

standards appropriate to its type when used in accordance with 
these instructions and with all of the standard safety guards and 
equipment in place. Only qualified persons using original spare parts 
should carry out repairs. Failure to do this may result in considerable 
danger to the user and invalidation of warranty.

33. Caution! Motor may become hot during use

  •  It is normal for motors on some machines to become hot to the 

touch during use. Avoid touching the motor directly when in use.
