This power toot is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug which has a grounding prong,
approved by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground conductor has
a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at
one end and to the ground prong in the attachment
plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
ff the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool
is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING
PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown below and always connect the
grounding lug to known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.

An adapter as illustrated is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding
tug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as to a properly grounded
outlet
box.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
Adapter is not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug.

MOUNTING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH
If band saw is to be used in a permanent location, it
should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench or accessory leg set (922236).
If mounting to a workbench, holes should be drilled
through supporting surface of the workbench using
dimensions illustrated.
1. Each leg should be bolted securelyusing 5/16 " diameter machine screws, Iockwashers,and 5/16 " hex
nuts. Bolts must be of sufficient length to accomodate legs of saw, washers, hex nuts, and thickness
of supporting surface.
2. Locate and mark holes where band saw is to be
mounted.
3. Drill (4) 11t32"dia. holes through workbench,
4. Remove band saw cover by releasinglatches.
5, Place band saw on workbench aligning holes in feet
with holes drilled in workbench.
6. Insert and tighten all four screws.

An alternate method of mounting is to fasten band saw
to a mounting board, The board should be of sufficient
size to avoid tipping of saw while in use: Any good
grade of plywood or chipboard with a 3/4" minimum
thickness is recommended.
1. Follow instructions
for mounting
to workbench,
substituting
a board 18" x 24" minimum size and
using 5116 inch flat head screws, Iockwashers, and
hex nuts. Screws must be of sufficient
length to
accomodate
legs of saw, washers, hex nuts, and
thickness of supporting board.
NOTE: Holes must be counter sunk so screw
are flush with surface of supporting board.

basic band saw operation
A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It is also used for straight-line cutting operations such as crosscutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. It is not capable of doing inside cutting.
This band saw is not designed

to just clear the

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.

The smallest diameter circle 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)
