3. Blade Speed

The digital display will read out one of two starting speeds, depending on where the motor belt is positioned on the pulleys. The two starting speeds are 3000 FPM and 1500 FPM. The speed ranges for each starting point are:

3000	1500
2800	1400
*2600	'1300
2400	1200
2200	1100

The band saw motor wilt stall if the blade speed drops two steps* below operating speed,

NOTE: It is important to maintain maximum cutting efficiency by keeping the blade speed as fast as possible. Do not feed the work piece too rapidly, tt will overload the motor and stall the blade,
