 +Safety Tips
 +  * The bandsaw can be a loud tool to use in a workshop. So, when entering the workshop and planning to use the bandsaw, make sure to also grab a set of noise-canceling earmuffs or headphones of some variety. 
 +  * The bandsaw can kick up dust and even particles of wood that reach your eyes, so it is best to also grab a set of safety goggles upon entering the woodshop to go along with the noise-canceling earmuffs. 
 +  * The bandsaw blade is a sharp and unforgiving tool. Be especially considerate with where you place your hands on the wood when funneling into the bandsaw. 
 +  * If by any chance you do sustain a cut or abrasion from the bandsaw, notify a lab assistant IMMEDIATELY. Doing this will guide you to immediate access of medical supplies and first aid attention to care for the affected area. 
 +  * DO HAVE A LAB ASSISTANT SUPERVISING OVER YOU IF YOU INTEND ON CUTTING AN ITEM WITH A HEIGHT AT OR ABOVE 4.5 INCHES. YOU WILL SEE A MESSAGE ON THE BANDSAW CASING THAT READS "SUPERVISION NEEDED."
 +  * Be sure to stop the bandsaw blade immediately after forming your intended cut or sawing your pieces out, so the blade is not left operating while unattended. Doing this could result in an injury to someone else or wasting of electrical and powerful energy.
