[/ATTACH]what happens with my band saw, when it is cut with the saw marks on the wood. as photo

But, most problems can be traced to improper feed, set-up or blade. A close up photo and decription of the exact issue would be helpful here. If you have a new/sharp blade, and the saw is properly set-up and adjusted, and you feed the material at the proper speed, where the blade is easily cutting and you're not forcing it, there should be no problems. Let us know

Are your cool blocks even close to touching the blade? It looks as if they are far away. Have you used a bandsaw before, or is this your first try at using one?

It could be an optical delusion, but your blade looks to be bent. Is there adequate tension on the blade? Also, as Julian pointed out, your cool blocks do not appear to be adjusted up close enough to the blade.

Agreed. The blade does look bent, and those guide blocks are a mile away from the blade offering no, well, guide...
