additional safety instructions for band saw/sander
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the band saw is being used.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR BAND SAW UNTIL IT
IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED
ACCORDING TOTHE INSTRUCTIONS ,.. AND UNTIL
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE
FOLLOWING:
PAGE
1. General Safety Instructions for Power Tools ...... 2
2. Getting To Know Your Band Saw/Sander ........ 18
3. Basic Band Saw Operation .................... 21
4. Maintenance ............................... 22
5. Stability of Machine
Your band saw must be bolted securely to a stand or
work bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the
band saw to tip over or move during certain operations
such as cutting long heavy boards, bolt your bandsaw to
the floor.
6. Location
The band saw should be positioned so neither the opera-
tor nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with
the blade. This band saw is intended for indoor use only.
7. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 and
a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or
muffs during extended periods of operation. Do not
wear gloves.., roll long sleeves above the elbow.
b.
c.
d.
e°
Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by
hand.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade or the
sanding belt.
Never turn your band saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all Objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
except for the workpiece and related feed or support
devices for the operation planned.
Make sure the blade runs downward toward the table
in the right direction. Always adjust tracking wheel
correctly so that the blade does not run off the
wheels.
f. Always adjust tension correctly for the blade or
sanding belt being used...
g. Always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard
to just clear the workpiece to protect the operator,
h°

q.
to keep blade breakage to a minimum, and to provide
maximum support for blade.
When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it
is supported at table height.
Hold the work firmly against the table.
Do not feed the material too fast while cutting.
Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade
will cut. Keep fingers away from the blade.
Use caution when cutting off material which is
irregular in cross section which could pinch the blade
before the cut is completed. A piece of molding for
example should lay flat on the table and not be
permitted to rock while being cut.
Use caution when cutting off round material such
as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to
roll while being cut causing the blade to "bite".
Always use a "V" block, or clamp round material
to a miter gauge.
When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind
in the kerf (cut) .,. this is usually caused by sawdust
clogging up the kerf. If this happens:
11 Turn off the band saw . . . remove plug from
power source outlet .. . remove cover from
band saw. Insert a screwdriver or wedge in the
kerf.., rotate the wheels by hand while backing
up the workpiece.
Never leave the band saw work area with the power
on before the machine has come to a complete stop,
or without removing and storing the switch key.
Never operate the band saw with protective cover on
on the unused shaft end of the motor removed.
Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
Remove plug from power, and turn saw "OFF"
before installing or removing an accessory or attach-
ment.
8. Should any part of this band saw be missing, or bend, or
fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to
perform properly, shut off power switch, and remove
power supply cord from power supply. Replace
damaged, missing, and/or failed parts before resuming
operation.
9. Think Safety.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness whenever the band saw/sander is in operation.

7. Carefully uncoil the blade, holding it at arms length.
8, Place the blade over the wheels with the teeth pointing
downwards toward the table as shown. Make sure the
blade is between the blade guides and is in the center of
the rubber tires.
NOTE: Your bandsaw can be used with blades of
various widths from 1/8" to 1/2"'. The saw must be
adjusted to the proper blade tension setting for the
blade to be used. A 1/4" wide blade is included with
this saw.
9. Screw down the tension knob until the pointer points
to 1/4. This will put sufficient tension on a 1/4" wide
blade.
10. Turn the upper wheel by hand a few times and notice if
the blade remains in the approx, center of the tire on
the top wheel.
If the blade moves away from the center of the wheel
while you are turning it, the blade is not TRACKING
properly.
The top wheel shaft ishinged which allows the wheel to
be tilted so that the blade can be TRACKED. By
turning the tracking adjustment screw, the wheel will be
tilted. (see illustration).
If the blade moves toward the front of the band saw:
a. Turn the tracking adjustment screw clockwise about
1/4 of a turn, asthough you were tightening it.
If the blade moves toward the back of the band saw:
a. Turn the tracking adjustment screw
counterclockwise about 1/4 of a turn asthough you
were loosening it.
Turn the screw just enough to cause the blade to run in
the approximate center of the tire.

The thrust bearings support the blade from the rear and
will rotate when the blade is pushed against them while
you are cutting, As soon as you stop cutting, the
bearings should stop rotating.
11. To be sure the thrust bearing is properly supporting the
blade, turn the thrust bearing adjustment knob so that
the bearing moves toward the blade and almost touches
it.
12. While turning the upper wheel to the right by hand,
adjust the thrust bearing until it barely touches the
blade and starts to rotate. Now move the bearing back
slightly, until it stops rotating. Tighten the thrust
bearing setscrew.

basic band saw/sander operation
BASIC BAND SAW/SANDER OPERATION
A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It differs
from a saw in two respects. It is capable of cutting thicker
material and it cuts faster. Unlike a saw, it is not capable
of doing inside cutting.
Your Craftsman Band Saw/Sander is not only capable of
the usual band saw operations, but it can be converted into
a sander as well. You can finish wood, certain compositions
and plastics and non-ferrous metals.
SAWING
1. Adjust the upper guides to just clear the workpiece.
2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle
pressure, and do not force the work, but allow the blade
to cut.
3. The smallest diameter that can be cut out is determined
by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4" wide
blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately
1-1/2". (See Chart)
BLADE SELECTION GUIDE FOR MINIMUM CIRCLE CUTTING
BLADE 1 "
SIZE
3" 1" 3" 1"
SANDING
The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice with some
scraps of wood first before you attempt to sand your
actual workpiece.
1. Press the workpiece gently against the sanding belt,
and keep moving it until the edge is smooth.
21
maintenance
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 accumulate on the tires should be
removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of
wood. 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.
GENERAL
Keep your Band Saw/Sander clean.
Remove the sawdust from the inside.
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, the insert,
the guides or the thrust bearings. Clean them with Crafts-
man Gum and Pitch Remover. CAUTION: Do not immerse
tke thrust bearings.
Apply athin coat of automobile-type wax on the table so
that the wood slides easily while cutting.
MOTOR
Frequently blow out any sawdust from the motor.
If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
For motor maintenance, follow instructions furnished with
the motor.
LUBRICATION
All of the BALL BEARINGS are packed with greaseatthe
factory. They require no further lubrication.
For motor lubrication, follow instructions furnished with
the motor.
Periodically apply afew drops of oil to the upper wheel
guide rods.
