M1113 18" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

SETUP

14.Use a sharp pencil to mark the fence rail where the fence scale indicator on the right-hand side is point- ing (there is a gap just behind the indicator plate where you can mark the rail). This mark will indicate where to align the 0" mark when you install the scale in Step 16.

15.Remove the fence from the front rail.

16.Carefully install the adhesive-backed scale on the front fence rail, as shown in Figure 17, so the 0" mark on the scale lines up with the pencil mark made in Step 14.

17.Insert the guide blocks into the upper and lower blade guide assemblies, making sure they are at least a 18" away from the blade (for now), then secure them with the six 14"-20 x 12" thumb screws, as shown in Figure 18.

18. Attach the miter gauge holder to the spine of the bandsaw, as shown in Figure 19, using the cap screws already installed in the bandsaw spine.

19.Insert the miter gauge in the holder holder, as shown in Figure 19.

Dust Collection

Recommended CFM at each Dust Port:

400 CFM

Connect this machine to a shop vacuum rather than a dust collector. Most dust collectors are not designed to capture metal shavings and doing so may lead to a fire. If you are in doubt about the capabilities of your shop vacuum or dust collector, refer the owner's manual before connecting it to this machine.

This saw creates substantial amounts of fine dust while operating. Failure to use a vacuum system can result in respiratory illness.

ONLY connect this machine to a shop vacuum. A wood dust collector is not designed for metal chips, which may spark and cause a fire.
