WARNING

To avoid blade breakage, fire or other damage or injury, NEVER use this band saw to cut ferrous metals.

CUTTING CURVES

When cutting curves, carefully turn the workpiece so the blade follows without twisting. If the curve is so sharp that you repeatedly back up and cut new kerf, use a narrower blade, or a blade with more set (teeth further apart). When a blade has more set, the workpiece turns easier but the cut is rougher.

When changing a cut, do not withdraw the workpiece from the blade. The blade may get drawn off the wheels.

To change a cut, turn the workpiece and saw out through the scrap material area.

When cutting long curves, make relief cuts as you go along.

CIRCLE CUTTING (Fig. P)

1.Adjust the guide assembly to 1/8″ above the workpiece.

2.Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle pressure. Do not force the work, ALLOW the blade

to cut.

Blade Width

3.The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is determined by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4″ wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1-1/2″.

BLADE SELECTION (Fig. Q)

CAUTION: Blade teeth are sharp. Use care when handling a saw blade.

For longest wear and best cutting results, use the correct blade thickness width, and temper for the type of material you will cut.

When sawing small curves and delicate work, use narrow blades. Otherwise, use the widest blade possible. For cutting wood and similar materials with this band saw, purchase blades in widths up to 3/8″, and a length of 63-1/2″.

Do not cut ferrous metals with this band saw.

Common causes of blade breakage:

•Poor guide alignment and adjusting.

•Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a short radius.

•Feeding too fast.

•Dull teeth or not enough set.

•Too much blade tension.

•Setting top guide assembly too high above the workpiece.

•Lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld on the blade.

•Continuous running of blade when not cutting.

WARNING

To avoid possible injury or damage, NEVER use this band saw to cut ferrous metals.

CAUTION: When cutting nonferrous metals, metal shavings can react with wood dust and start a fire. To avoid this:

1.Disconnect any dust collection bag from the band saw.

2.Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the saw.

3.Remove all metal shavings from inside the saw before sawing wood again.
