WARNING:ELECTRICAL SAFETY

  • Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
  • Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
  • Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.
  • Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
  • When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cords marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

CAUTION:SAW USE AND CARE

  • Do not force the saw. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
  • Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the tool with a damaged part.
  • Do not use a saw with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that can’ be controlled is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service technician before using.
  • Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
  • Store the tool when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
  • Use only recommended accessories with your saw. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used with another tool.
  • Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the saw without the guards in place.
  • Do not leave the saw running unattended.

Specific Operation Warnings

WARNING:

  • Wear the proper safety gear including ANSI Z87.1 compliant eye protection.
  • Cutting Hazard. DO NOT operate with guard removed. Keep hands clear of blade.
  • Hold work piece firmly against table. · Never hold the material by hand with the saw in the horizontal position. Always use the vise or clamp.
  • Support long, heavy work by other methods from the floor.
  • Electric shock hazard. Be sure equipment is properly grounded.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power tool or extension cord and power receptacle.
  • Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
  • Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging tool into power outlet.
  • In the event of a power failure, while a tool is being used, turn both the switches off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
  • When moving the saw, ALWAYS have the head lowered to the horizontal position.
  • Turn power OFF before servicing.
  • Not for use by or around children.

Grounding

WARNING:

  • This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This drill press is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
  • DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
  • CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong PlugsTools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.) The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong PlugsTools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.) Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration.

Extension Cords

WARNING:

  • USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating.
  • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
  • Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or 3-wire extension cord.
  • As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
  • The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is shown in the following table:

  • When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
  • If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
  • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix W-A (W in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
  • Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
  • Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

  • Always use push sticks, particularly when cutting small pieces.
WORK SET UP
  1. Raise the saw head to the vertical position.
  2. Open the vise to accept the piece to be cut by rotating the wheel at the end of base (counterclockwise).
  3. Place the workpiece on the saw bed. If the piece is long, support the end by other means.
  4. Clamp the workpiece securely in the vise by rotating the hand wheel clockwise.
VERTICAL CUTTING PLATE ASSEMBLY

Note: These steps are only necessary if using the band saw in the vertical mode.

WARNING:Disconnect the saw from the power source before making any repairs or adjustments.

  1. Loosen the screws (A and B ) from the blade guide. Remove part D.
  2. Raise the cutting head to the vertical position. Install the safety bracket and lock it in place with the pin to keep the saw from falling.

  4. Operate vertical cutting using the miter gauge in the cutting plate groove to obtain any angle up to 45 degrees either left or right.
CHANGING SPEEDS

When using your band saw, always change the blade speed to best suit the material being cut. See the cutting chart shown below.

  1. Turn off power.
  2. Open the belt guard cover (75).
  3. Loosen the motor lock bolt (#70), you are now able to change the position of the belt on the two pulleys to obtain the desired speed.
  4. When belt is adjusted, lock the motor firmly.
  5. Close the belt guard cover.

CUTTING

CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.Be sure the blade is not in contact with the work when the motor is started. Start the motor, allow the saw to come to full speed, and then begin the cut by lowering the head down slowly onto the work. DO NOT DROP OR FORCE the blade. Let the weight of the saw head provide the cutting force. The saw automatically shuts off at the end of the cut.

Adjusting the blade:

  • A. Loosen the screw (1, shown at right).
  • B. Adjust the blade adjustable seat (2) to make the blade vertical to the bed.
  • C. Place a square on the bed to check that the blade is vertical. If not, repeat step B.
  • D. Tighten the screw (1).

BLADE SELECTION

A general-use blade is furnished with the saw. Additional blades in 10 and 14 tooth sizes are available. The choice of blade pitch is governed by the thickness of the work to be cut; the thinner the workpiece, the more teeth recommended. A minimum of 3 teeth should be in the workpiece at all times for proper cutting. If the teeth of the blade are so far apart that they straddle the work, severe damage to the workpiece and to the blade can result.

BLADE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL

Be sure the blade is assembled to the pulleys such that the vertical edge engages the workpiece first.

CHANGING BLADES

  1. Ensure that power is disconnected before changing the blade.
  2. Raise the saw head to vertical.
  3. Remove the screw (113) and washer(114), open the blade back safety cover(115).
  4. Loosen the blade tension adjusting knob (37) sufficiently to allow the saw blade to slip off the wheels.
  5. Wearing gloves, carefully install the new blade with teeth slanting toward the motor (shown above) as follows:
    • a. Place the blade in between each of the guide bearings.
    • b. Slip the blade around the lower wheel with the left hand and hold it in position.
    • c. Hold the blade taut against the lower wheel by pulling the blade upward with the right hand placed at the top of the blade.
    • d. Remove the left hand from lower wheel and place it at the top side of the blade to continue the upward pull on the blade.
    • e. Remove the right hand from blade and adjust the position of the upper wheel to permit the left hand to slip the blade around the wheel, using the thumb, index and little finger as guides.
    • f. Adjust the blade tension knob clockwise until it is just right enough so no blade slippage occurs. Do not tighten excessively.
  6. Close the back safety cover and replace the screw and washer.
BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT

This metal cutting band saw is equipped with an adjustable blade guide. This feature permits you to adjust the position of the blade guide for variable width workpieces. To get the most accurate cut and prolong the life of the blade, the adjustable blade guide should be adjusted to just clear the piece to be cut. This is done as follows:

  1. Place the workpiece in the vise.
  2. Adjust the blade guide to the desired position by loosening the hand knob (49) and positioning the guide as required.
  3. Tighten the hand knob.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
  1. Ensure that power is disconnected before adjusting the blade tension.
  2. Press the blade lightly half-way between the wheels with left hand. The blade should bow about 1 mm.
  3. Adjust the blade tension adjusting knob (37) with the right hand until proper tension is obtained.

BLADE GUIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT

This is the most important adjustment on the saw. It is impossible to get satisfactory work from your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted. The blade guide bearing for your band saw are adjusted and power tested with several test cuts before leaving the factory to insure the proper setting.The need for adjustment should rarely occur if the saw is used properly. If the guides become out of adjustment, it is extremely important to readjust immediately. If proper adjustment is not maintained, the blade will not cut straight and if the situation is not corrected, it will cause blade damage. Because guide adjustment is a critical factor in the performance of your saw, it is always best to try a new blade to see if this will correct poor cutting before beginning to adjust the bearings. If a blade becomes dull on one side sooner than the other, for example, it will not cut straight. A simple blade change should correct this problem, the more difficult guide adjustment will not. If a new blade does not correct the problem, check the blade guides for proper spacing. There should be 0.001″ clearance between the 0.025″ thickness blade and guide bearing. The inner guide bearing is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The outer guide bearing is mounted to the idler pulley shaft (93 & 106) and can be adjusted. To obtain this clearance, adjust as follows:

  1. Loosen the nut while holding the bolt with a wrench.
  2. Position the eccentric by turning the bolt to the desired position of clearance.
  3. Tighten the nut.
  4. Adjust the second blade guide bearing in the same manner.
  5. The back edge of the blade should just touch the lip of the blade guide bearing.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE TRACKING

This adjustment has been completed and tested at the factory. The need for adjusting should rarely occur when the saw is used properly. If tracking becomes out of adjustment, use the steps below to correct it:

  1. Turn the blade tension knob (37) to loosen the blade a little while it still tracks against the pulley.
  2. Loosen the hex head screws (24).
  3. Simultaneously turn with blade tension knob (37) and the hex head screw (25) to align the blade with the edge of the pulley.
  4. Tighten the hex head screw (24) to secure tracking then tighten the blade tension knob to correct tension.
  5. Adjust the blade guides according to the material size (see Blade Guide Adjustment).

After Each Use

After each use, clean the saw of debris and scraps of metal. If the saw will not be used for a while, spread a thin coat of oil on the surfaces that not painted to prevent rust.

Store the saw when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect the saw for good working condition prior to storage and again before re-use.

Maintenance

WARNING:

  • Put the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool to avoid the risk of starting the saw accidentally.
  • Use only recommended parts for use with the saw. Parts that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed than the saw itself.

Maintain the saw. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined before it is used. Keep the saw in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual. Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
