Among woodworking machines, the band saw is likely credited with the fewest injuries (particularly when compared to the table saw). Even so, a band saw can cause some severe injuries if not used in a safe and common-sense manner.
In How to Use Your Band Saw Safely, read about a variety of rules for using your band saw safely and effectively. As with any woodworking tool or machine, if one commits to using the tool only properly, by following a prescribed set of safety rules every time, use of the tool (and woodworking in general, for that matter) can be done safely and one can greatly lessen the chance of a life-altering injury.
