LOCKING
PIN (153)
FIGURE S
3.Raise the Body Frame (60) to its full vertical position, making sure it locks in place by turning the Support Plate
(150) to the right until it firmly locks into the Body Frame and inserting the Locking Pin (153). (See Figure S.)
4.Once all necessary adjustments to the Bandsaw have been made, plug the Power Cord Plug into the near- est 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
5.Turn the Power Switch (164) to its “ON” position. (See Figure S.)
6.
CAUTION! Cut only flat workpiec- es when the Bandsaw is in its vertical
position. Never attempt to cut pipes or other round objects with the Band- saw in its vertical position.
7.Before cutting, turn on the Bandsaw and check for excessively loose Saw Blade (82) tension or machine vi- bration. If this is found, turn off the Bandsaw and correct the problem before using. (See Figure S.)
8.Set the workpiece on the Vertical Cut- ting Plate (189), making sure to keep downward pressure on the workpiece throughout the cutting process.
(See Figure S.)
9.When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a larger workpiece.
10.Allow the Saw Blade (82) to turn up to full speed before feeding the work- piece into the Saw Blade.
(See Figure S.)
11.
WARNING! Keep hands and fingers safely away from the cut- ting area.
12.Feed the workpiece into the Saw Blade (82) gradually. Do not force the Bandsaw to remove material faster than it is designed to cut.
(See Figure S.)
13.Never attempt to remove mate- rial stuck in the moving parts of the Bandsaw while it is plugged in and running. Turn off the Bandsaw if the workpiece is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
14.Once the cut is made, turn the Power Switch (164) to its “OFF” position. Then, unplug the Power Cord Plug
