The isolating switch of a bandsaw should be off during repairs and maintenance.
Equipment like guides, thrust wheels, and band wheel tires must be in good condition and properly adjusted.
Proper blade installation includes ensuring the blade is sharp, suited to the material, and oriented correctly with teeth facing the operator.
Safety measures when operating a bandsaw include standing in a balanced position, keeping hands away from the blade, and using a push stick for control.
Avoid wearing loose clothing, standing on the right side of the blade, and removing off-cuts by hand while the blade is moving.
