ENTANGLEMENT MAKE SURE the unplugged before Otherwise, severe occur. HAZARD! bandsaw is proceeding! injury may To install the pulley cover, do these steps: Figure 16. Positioning the pulley cover. Position and rotate the pulley cover into place, as shown in Figure 16. 2.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) Blade Tension Proper blade tension is essential to long blade life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting. Two major signs that you do not have proper blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently breaks from being too tight. Cylinder Lock Pin Safety Stop Disconnect bandsaw from power BEFORE making and adjustments to the machine! Figure 18. Raising and locking headstock.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) Blade Guides The blade guide side bearings support and twist the blade straight so the blade will enter the workpiece perpendicular to the table surface (see Figure 21). The blade guide support bearings prevent blade twist by stopping the blade from being pushed back during a cut. Both adjustments are critical for correct saw operation. Note: Make sure the blade is tensioned and tracks correctly before you adjust the blade guide bearings.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) Test Run Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly. If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review the Troubleshooting on Page 32. If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance. SETUP To test run the machine, do these steps: 1.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) OPERATIONS General This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual.

The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) 5. Adjust the cast iron stop for duplicate cuts and install the ejector chute if required. 6. Loosen the headstock lock lever (Figure 24), and swivel the headstock to the needed angle of cut, and lock the lever in place. 7. Set the blade guide so the guides hold the blade close to the workpiece, and the blade will not twist with a cutting load (refer to Blade Guides on Page 19 for detailed instructions). 8.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) Blade Speed The Model M1013 has these three blade speeds: 80, 120, and 200 FPM. To change blade speeds, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER! 2. Determine the best speed for your cut. The table in Figure 25 is provided as a basic guideline. Material thickness and the type of blade used will factor into FPM selection. 3. Slacken the V-belt (refer to the Pulley Cover subsection on Page 17 for detailed instructions). 4.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) Blade Selection The chart below is a basic starting point for choosing blade type based on teeth per inch (TPI) for variable tooth pitch blades and for standard raker type bimetal blades/HSS blades. However, for exact specifications of bandsaw blades, contact the blade manufacturer. To select the correct blade TPI, do these steps: Here are some general rules of thumb with respect to bandsaw blade use.
M1013 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 6/09) Feed Rate The speed at which the saw blade will cut through a workpiece is controlled by blade type and feed rate. The feed rate is controlled by the valve lever and feed rate dial on the hydraulic cylinder shown in Figure 27. Turning the valve lever in-line with the piping, as shown in the Figure 28, opens it up, which allows the fluid to circulate and allows the head to move.
