4.Adjust the valve on the coolant hose to control the flow of coolant (see Figure 35). Make sure that the pressure is not so high that coolant spills on the floor and creates a slipping hazard.

NOTICE

Keep the tray chip screen clear so coolant can recycle to the pump reservoir. NEVER operate the pump with the reservoir below the low mark or you may over-heat the pump and void your warranty!

Operation Tips

Review the following tips to help you safely and effectively operate your bandsaw and get the maximum life out of your saw blades.

•Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length.

•Let the blade reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Never start a cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece.

•Pay attention to the chips produced by the cutting operation and use their appearance to fine-tune the blade speed, feed speed, and pressure (refer to the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 27).

•Wait until the blade has completely stopped before removing the workpiece from the vise, and avoid touching the cut end—it could be very hot!

Release blade tension at the end of each use to prolong blade life.
