EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power.

Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.

Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.

If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, replace it immediately.

connected, reconnected or anytime wiring is inspected.

Craftsman 18" Vertical Metal Cutting Band Saw provides precision metal cutting for tool and die makers, machine shops and production work. Blade speed is infinitely variable and ranges from 80 FPM to 385 FPM for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Selection guide helps determine blade type and speed for most metals. Features include industrial rated heavy duty speed reducer, heavy gauge steel construction, cast iron wheels, pulleys, table and LED blade speed indicator. Saw is controlled by push button magnetic switch with safety off button and key lock switch. Saw comes with a 115/230 volt motor prewired for 115 volts. Saw features tilting work table for angle cuts, built-in chip chute, eye bolt for moving, chip blower, flange mounting brackets for securing saw to the floor, blade welder and work lamp. Blade widths of '/8-5/8''and thickness of 0.020

to 0.035" can be welded for convenient production of band saw blades. Welder features a blade shear, grinder and an anneal button.
