WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER

SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING YOUR BAND SAW.

Tires

Pitch and sawdust that build up on the tires should be removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a

piece of wood.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the tires do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.

When the tires become worn they should be replaced. When replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels but do not glue them on.

ADJUSTING BAND SAW BEVEL TRAVEL

If the band saw will not hold its position when at a bevel angle, and before the bevel look is locked, or if it is difficult to change the bevel angle, an adjustment is necessary to correct the force required to bevel the band saw.

To adjust the force required to bevel the band saw, locate the three (3) capscrews holding the frame to the motor mount. The capscrews are located in the recessed area behind the hub of the lower wheel at

the 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 10 o'clock positions. Use a 3/16-inch hexagonal "L" wrench that has a 4-inch

leg, reach between the spokes of the lower wheel to the capscrews. Adjust the capscrews equally until the bevel action is smooth and the saw wilt hold its position before the bevel lock is locked.

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BLADE GUIDE TRAVEL

If the upper guide bar will not move up and down easily or falls when the lock knob is loosened, the

following adjustment should be performed.

1.Remove the Guide Bar Lock Knob and the washer which is under it.

2.Using a 7/16" socket or wrench, tighten the nut which is under the washer to just tight.

3.Then loosen the same nut 1 turn.

4.Move the guide bar up and down to check for

smooth movement while still holding its position when released.

5.Make further adjustments to the nut as required to get the guide bar to move smoothly and hold its position when released.

6.Reinstafl the washer and Guide Bar Lock Knob.

General Maintenance

Keep your band saw clean. Remove the sawdust from the inside. Vacuum or blow out frequently.

Do not allow filth to build up on the table, the guides orthe back-up bearings. Clean them with Craftsman

Gum and Pitch Remover.

CAUTION: Do not immerse the backup bearings in the gum and pitch remover.

Put a thin coat of paste wax on the table so that the wood slides easily while cutting.
