Adjust the blade speed according to your material by simply turning the knob. Place your workpiece on the worktable or infeed table and secure it with the tool - less quick lock vise at the desired mitering position. When you're ready, turn on the machine and start the cut. The auto shut - off feature will turn off the machine after the cut is complete. Remember to wear appropriate safety gear, like goggles, while operating the bandsaw. For maintenance, regularly clean the chip tray and the work area to prevent debris from building up. Check the blade tension and alignment periodically. If you notice any abnormal noises or performance issues, turn off the machine immediately and inspect it. Keep the gears and moving parts lubricated as recommended in the user manual to ensure smooth operation and a long lifespan for your bandsaw.
