1. Don’t hand feed when ripping solid wood. Use a power feeder. Safest
practice is to rip all solid wood stock on the band saw.

2. Don’t cross-cut panels using a rip fence. Use a cut-off box or sliding table.

3. Use an overarm guard at all times.

4. Cut tenon cheeks on the band saw.

5. Don’t use dado blades.

6. Use a vertical splitter if possible.

7. Use appropriate outfeed support for every cut.

8. Think through every cut before making it.
