additional safety instructiens for band saw

Safety is a combination of operator common

sense and alertness at aii times when the band

saw is being used.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR BAND SAW

UNTIL _T IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND

INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE iNSTRUC-

TiONS... AND UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDER-

STAND THE FOLLOWING:

3, Basic Band Saw Operation ................. !5

4o Maintenance .............................. 16

Stability of Machine.

Your band saw must be bolted securely to a

work ben, cir. In addition, if there is any tend-

ency for the band saw to tip over or move

during certain operations such as cutting

_ong heavy boards, bolt your workbench to

the floor.

Location

This band saw is intended for indoor use

only.

Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body

a. Aiways wear safety goggles that comply

with ANSI Z87.1. Wear a face shield if oper-

ation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs

during extended periods of operation. Do

not wear gloves, jewelry or watches. Roll

long sleeves above the elbow.

b. Do not cut pieces of material too small to

hold securely by hand.

c. Avoid awkward hand positions where a

sudden slip could cause a hand to move

into the blade.

d. Never turn your band saw "ON" before

clearing the table of all Objects (tools.

scraps of wood, etc.) except for the work-

piece and related feed or support devices

for the operation planned.

e. Make sure the blade runs downward to-

ward the table, Always adjust tracking

wheel correctly so that the blade does not

run off the wheels.

f. Always adjust blade tension correctly.

g ALWAYS adjust the upper blade guide and

blade g_;ard to just clear the workpiece to

protect the operator, to keep blade break-

age to a minimum, and to provide maxi-

mum support for blade.

h. When cutting a large piece of material,

provide additional support at table height.

i. Hoid the work firmly against the tabie.

j. Do not feed the material too fast while cut-

ting. Oniy feed the material fast enough so

that the blade will cut. Keep fingers away

from the blade.

k. 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

must lay flat on the table and not be per-

mitted to rock while being cut.

]. Use caution when cutting off round materi-

al such as dowet rods. or tubing, They have

a tendency to roll while being cut causing

the blade to "bite". Always clamp round

material to a miter gauge, or provide

equivalent support.

m. When backing up the workpiece, the blade

may bind in ttle kerf (cut) ... this is usually

caused by sawdust clogging up the kerr or

because the blade comes out of the

guides. If this happens:

1. Turn off the band saw. .. remove plug

from power source outtet...remove

cover from band saw. insert a screw-

driver or wedge in the kerf ... rotate the

wheels by hand while backing up the

workpiece.

n. Never leave the band saw work area with

the power on, before the machine has

come to a complete stop. or without re-

moving and storing the switch key.

o. Never operate band saw with cover remov-

ed.

p. Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while the biade is T,-noving.

q. Turn saw "off" and remove plug from pow-

er supply outlet before installing or remov-

ing an accessory.

r. Use only RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

listed on page 16.

additional safety instructions for band saw

.Should any part of this band saw be m_ssing,

bend. or fail in any way, or any electrical

component fai! to perform properly, shut off

power switch and remove plug from power

supply outlet. Replace damaged, missing,

and/or failed parts before resuming opera-

tion.

9. Think Safety.

Safety is a combination of operator common

sense and alertness whenever the band saw

is in operation.

10. This band saw is designed to cut wood and

woed like products only.

basic band saw operation

A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" mach-

ine. It is also used for straight-line cutting opera-

tions such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering,

beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. It is

not capable of doing inside cutting.

This band saw is designed to cut wood and

wood aike products only.

For general type scroll cutting, fellow the pattern

lines by pushing and turning the workpiece at

the same time. Do not try to turn the workpiece

while engaged in the blade without pushing it;

the workpiece could bind or twist the blade.

A curve cut is best performed by keeping the

pattern line in line with the blade while turning

the workpiece before the radius of the curve is

cut. The blade should cut in the middle of the

pattern line (saw kerf) since wood cutting band

saw blades are thin.

NOTE: Blade guard is raised for clarity of picture

only.

WRONG - Not planning ahead for cutting

SAWUNG

1. Adjust the upper guide assembly to just clear

the workpiece.

Use both hands while feeding the work into

the blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against

the table. Use gentle pressure. 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.

A 114" wide blade will cut a minimum dia-

meter of approximately 1-1/2".

Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too

small a radius for a ll4-inch blade) is to be cut. A

relief cut is made by cutting through scrap sec-

tion of workpiece to curve in pattern line, then

carefully backing blade out. Several relief cuts

should be made for intricate curves, then follow

pattern line as sections are cut off of curve

"relieving" blade pressure.

maintenance

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN

SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM

POWER OUTLET BEFORE MAiNTAINiNG OR

LUBRICATING YOUR BAND SAW.

TIRES

Pitch and sawdust that accumulate on the tires

should be removed _ith a stiff brush or scraped

off with a piece of wood. Do not use asharp

knife or any kind of solvent.

When the tires become worn they should be re-

ptaced. When replacing the tires, put a thin layer

of rubber cement on the outside of the wheels

and inside of the tires. Allow to dry, then slide

tires onto wheels aligning tires inside wheel

edges.

GENERAL

Keep your Band Saw clean.

Remove sawdust from the inside frequently.

Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the tabQe,

blade insert, blade guides, or thrust bearings.

Clean them with Craftsman Gum and Pitch

Remover.

Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax to the

table so the wood slides easily while cutting.

Also apply wax to the inside surfaces of the

trunnion.

MOTORIELECTRIC AL

Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust from

the motor.

If the power cord _s worn, cut, or damaged in any

way, have it replaced immediately.
