Questions about a new bandsaw

I was just needed to know if a bi-metal blade and 1/3 HP motor is enough to cut up 1/4" stainless steel.

Just brought it home and was wondering if I'm gonna make a blade explode right outta the gate... or not.
 
I am not sure about the horsepower. Mine is 1 HP. The critical thing with steel is that you need the saw to run slow, around 40-70 feet per minute for stainless steel. Wood bandsaw usually run at around 300 feet per minute.
