SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAND SAWS

1.TO AVOID INJURY from unexpected movement, make sure the saw is on a firm, level surface, properly secured to prevent rocking. Make sure there is adequate space for operating. Bolt the saw to a support surface to prevent slipping, walking, or sliding during operation.

2.TURN the saw OFF and unplug the saw before moving it.

3.USE THE CORRECT size and style blade.

4.USE blades rated at 3600 FPM or greater.

5.MAKE SURE the blade teeth point down and towards the table.

6.BLADE GUIDES, SUPPORT BEARINGS, AND BLADE TENSION must be properly adjusted to avoid accidental blade contact and to minimize blade breakage. To maximize blade support, always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard so that it is 1/8 inch above the workpiece.

7.TABLE LOCK HANDLE should be tight.

8.USE EXTRA CAUTION with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

9.USE EXTRA SUPPORTS to prevent workpieces from sliding off the tabletop. Never use another person to support the workpiece.

10.WORKPIECES must be secured so they don’t twist, rock, or slip while being cut.

11.PLAN intricate and small work carefully to avoid pinching the blade. Avoid awkward operation and hand positions to prevent accidental contact with the blade.

12.SMALL PIECES should be secured with jigs or fixtures. Do not hand hold pieces that are so small your fingers are under the blade guard.

13.SUPPORT round work properly (with a V-block or clamped to the miter gauge) to prevent it from rolling and the blade from biting.

14.CUT only one workpiece at a time. Make sure the table is clear of everything except the workpiece and its guides before you turn the saw on.

15.ALWAYS WATCH the saw run before each use. If there is excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug it immediately. Do not start the saw again until the problem has been located and corrected.

16.TO FREE any jammed material, turn the switch OFF. Remove the switch key and unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop before removing jammed material.

17.DON’T LEAVE the work area until all moving parts are stopped. To childproof the workshop, shut OFF the power to master switches and remove the switch key from the band saw. Store it in a safe place, away from children.

WARNING

For your own safety, read the entire instruction manual before operating the band saw.

1.Wear eye protection.

2.Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.

3.Make sure the saw is on a firm level surface and properly secured.

4.USE ONLY THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

5.Use extra caution with very large, very small, or awkward workpieces.

6.Keep hands away from the blade at all times to prevent accidental injury.

7.Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until the blade has stopped.

8.Maintain proper adjustment of blade tension, blade guides and thrust bearings.

9.Adjust upper guide to just clear the workpiece.

10.Hold the workpiece firmly against the table.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a

15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool 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.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

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.
