"Hi, my name is Danny and I am from Tampa, Florida on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to talk about how to use and maintain a band saw. OK, now I am going to talk about powering the band saw. You want to make sure what you are plugging it up to. This is a 110 plug. Some band saws come in 220 so you want to make sure your plugging it in the right outlet. I have this power strip right here. So I will plug this in. You want to make sure this this is off before you plug it in. Always make sure you have your safety glasses on. Before you actually start cutting anything you want to make sure it turns on and everything sounds good. It sounds like it's working properly. So you set it up where you need to set it up. Make sure you have the right blade on and start cutting."
