This document provides information on safely operating a band saw machine. It discusses the necessary personal protective equipment which includes gloves, a face shield, and hearing protection. It also outlines the standard operating procedure for a band saw, including instructions to use push sticks when cutting small pieces, allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting, and check that the blade guard is properly adjusted. Not following safety precautions like this could result in injuries from chips or damage fingers if gloves or push sticks are not used.

2. INTRODUCTION
What is band saw machine?
A bandsaw (also written band saw) is
a power saw with a long, sharp blade
consisting of a continuous band of
toothed metal stretched between two
or more wheels to cut material. They
are used principally in woodworking,
metalworking, and lumbering, but
may cut a variety of materials.

3. PART AND
LABELLING OF
THE MACHINE:

4. How does the band saw machine work?
When the saw is set up for a cut, the
operator raises the saw, positions the
material to be cut underneath the blade,
and then turns on the saw. The blade
slowly descends into the material,
cutting it as the band blade moves. When
the cut is complete, a switch is tripped,
and the saw automatically turns off.

to remove the blade from the stock.
Use
Use a push stick or board to push small or irregular sized
stock. Small work pieces can also be secured with a tabletop

adjusted prior to turning on the machine.

8. Must follow the
S.O.P when used
this machine.
Adjust the blade
guard with your

9. Used additional stick to push the
material while cutting.

10. Clean the blade and machine after used the
machine. Remember, switch off the supply
power first.

12. WHAT CAN BE HAPPEN
IF WE IGNORE THE
S.O.P AND PPE OR NOT
ALERT WHILE USING
THE MACHINE?

13. The chips can make an
injuries if we do not
wear the safety
goggles

14. FINGER INJURIES OR
DAMAGE IFWE DO
NOT USED GLOVE
OR PUSH STICK

15. Importance of wearing
hearing protection is
to avoid our hearing
from damage

16. IN, CONCLUSION ITS IMPORTANCE TO US TO USED AND FOLLOW ALL
THE PPE AND SOP WHILE USING THE BAND SAW MACHINE.
REMEMBER THAT!!!
