Do not cut pieces of materia! too small to hold by
hand.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the blade,
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. Always adjust tracking wheel correctly so
that the blade does not run off the wheels.
Always adjust blade tension correctly.
ALWAYS adjust the upper blade guide and blade
guard to just clear the workpiece to protect the
operator, to keep btade breakage to a minimum,
and to provide maximum support for blade,
h. When cutting a large piece of material, make sure
it is supported at table height,
i, Hold the work firmiy against the table:
j. Do not feed the matedal too fast while cutting.
Only feed the material fast enough so thaz the
blade witl cut, Keep fingers away from the blade.
k, Use citation when cutting off materia_ vvh;ch is
irregular in cross section ,which couid pinch the
blade before the cut is completed. A piece of
motding for exampte must lay fiat on the tab!e and
not be permitted to rock while being cut.
m,

t. Use caution when cutting off round rnateria_ such
as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency/ _o
rol_ whiie being cut causing the b_ade to 'bite".
Always use a "V" block, o_ ctamp round materia!
to a miter guage.
When backing up the workpiece, the btade may
bind in the kerf (cut),.. this is usually caused by
sawdust clogging up the kerr or because the
blade comes out of the guides. If this happens:
Turn off the band saw.._ remove ptug from
power source outlet.,, remove cover from
band saw. Insert a screwdive_ or wedge in the
kerr _.. rotate the wheels by hand while back-
ing up the workpiece,
n. Never leave the band saw work area with the
power on, before the machine has come to a com-
plete stop, or without removing and storing the
switch key,
o, Never operate band saw with cover removed.
p. Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
q, Turn saw "off" and remove plug from power sup-
ply outlet before installing or removing an acces=
sory or attachment,
Should any part of this band saw be missing, bend,
or fail in any way, or any electrica_ component fail to
perform properly, shut off power switch and remove
plug from power supply outlet. Replace damaged,
missing, andJor failed parts before resuming opera-
rich.

basic band saw operation
A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It is also used for straight-line cutting operations such as cross-
cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. It is not capable of doing inside cutting.
This band saw is not designed to cut metal
SAWI N G
1. Adjust the upper guide assembly to just clear the
workplece.
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.
.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 aminimum diameter of
approximately 1-1/2": (See Chart)

Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, blade in-
sert, blade guides, or tl_rust rollers. Clean them with
Craftsman Gum and Pitch Remover,
Apply athin coat of autornobile-Wpe wax on the table
so the wood slides easily while cutting. Also apply wax
to the inside surfaces of the trunnion.
MOTOR
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust from the
motor.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
