SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possiblity of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR BAND SAWS 1. WARNING: Do not operate your band saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 16. NEVER perform layout, assembly, or set-up work on the table while the machine is operating. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of band saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person. 17. ALWAYS hold the workpiece firmly against the table. 18.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE BAND SAW TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ENTIRE OWNERS MANUAL. ASSEMBLING STAND AND RUBBER FEET 1. Assemble the stand, as shown in Fig. 3, using the 32 carriage bolts, flat washers and nuts supplied.
3. Using the two 45mm (approximately 1-3/4" long) screws (E) Fig. 6, and flat washers supplied, fasten the band saw to the stand by threading the two screws (E) into the tapped holes in bottom of saw as shown. Fig. 6 4. Fasten remaining end of band saw to top of stand using two 45mm (approximately 1-3/4″ long) hex head screws (F) Fig. 7, four flat washers (G), and two hex nuts (H) supplied as shown.
3. Replace screw (A) Fig. 10, flat washer (B) and wing nut (C) that was removed in STEP 1. Fig. 10 ASSEMBLING UPPER BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY 1. Fasten the upper blade guide assembly (A) Fig. 11, to the side of the band saw using the lock plate (B) and lock screw (C) as shown. Fig. 11 EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole receptacle which will accept the tools plug.
CONNECTING BAND SAW TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp fuse. Have a certified electrician replace or repair a worn cord immediately. Before connecting the motor to a power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor nameplate.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING SAW The switch (A) Fig. 15, is located on the front side of the band saw. To turn the saw “ON” move the switch (A) to the up position. To turn the saw “OFF” move the switch (A) to the down position. Fig. 15 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION We suggest that when the saw is not in use, the switch be locked in the “OFF” position. This can be done by grasping the switch toggle (B) Fig. 16, and pulling it out of the switch, as shown.
TRACKING THE BLADE For accurate work and maximum blade life, it is important that the blade be centered on the upper band saw wheel. When this adjustment is properly made, the blade will “track”, that is, it will run steady in the same line. To “track” the blade, proceed as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2.
ADJUSTING UPPER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING Fig. 21 Fig. 22 The blade guides must be properly adjusted to prevent the blade from twisting during operation. The upper blade guides and blade support bearing should be adjusted only after the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. To adjust, proceed as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Loosen screw (A) Fig. 21, and remove blade guard (B) from guide assembly. 3. The upper guide bracket (C) Fig.
ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING Fig. 23 Fig. 24 The lower blade guides and blade support bearing should be adjusted at the same time as the upper guides and bearing as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Loosen screw (A) Fig. 23, and move the guide bracket (B) in or out until the front edge of the guides (C) are just behind the blade “gullets” (bottom of saw teeth) while making sure the guides are flat with the blade then tighten screw (A). 3.
TILTING THE TABLE 1. The table can be tilted 45 degrees to the right and approximately 3 degrees to the left. To tilt the table, loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 25, tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten lock handle (A). NOTE: The table lock handle (A) can be repositioned by pulling out on the handle and repositioning it on the nut located underneath the hub of the handle. A scale (B) and pointer (C) is provided to indicate the degree of table tilt. Fig. 25 2.
CHANGING BLADES To change blades, proceed as follows: 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE. 2. Open upper and lower wheel guards (A) Fig. 28. 3. Release tension on the band saw blade by turning tension knob (B) Fig. 28, counter-clockwise. 4. Remove table alignment screw (C) Fig. 28, and table insert (D). 5. Slip the blade off both wheels and guide it out through the slot in the table. 6. Check new blade to be sure teeth will point down towards table when installed. If not, turn blade inside out. Fig. 28 7.
BLADE BRUSHES Two blade brushes (A) and (B) Fig. 31, are provided to keep the blade and tires clean and free of any build-up of chips. Brush (A) cleans the tire and brush (B) cleans the blade. Adjustment of the brushes can be made by loosening the mounting hardware and adjusting the brushes accordingly. Fig. 31 DUST CHUTE Fig. 32 Fig. 33 A dust chute (A) Fig. 32, is provided which enables you to connect your band saw to a standard shop vacuum or dust collector, as shown in Fig. 33.
