The Model G0506/G0507 and G0511 is supplied with a foot brake. When used, power to the motor is disconnected and as pressure is applied to the pedal, friction forces the blade wheels to come to a halt.
The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT become over confident and relax your safe- ty awareness because of the foot brake fea- ture.
Figure 21. The foot brake is located below the
dust collection port.
The rest of the adjustments in this section require you to start the bandsaw. Before starting the bandsaw, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safe- ty issues associated with this machine. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death!
Wear safety glasses while testing this machine. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.
Read through this entire manual to become famil- iar with the controls and the operations of the bandsaw before turning it on.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel and/or plug in the bandsaw. Push the START but- ton to turn on the bandsaw. Make sure that your hand is poised over the switch and your foot is sit- uated so you can use the emergency foot brake in case there is a problem. The bandsaw should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. If strange or unnatural noises are imme- diately apparent, press the STOP button or the foot brake. Investigate and correct before operat- ing the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our service department for help.
