WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR BAND SAW UNTIL iT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS... AND UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING: 1. 2. 3. 4. ° , , PAGE General Safety instructions for Power Tools 2 Getting To Know Your Band Saw ............ 13 Basic Band Saw Operation ................. 15 Maintenance .............................. 16 Stability of Machine. Your band saw must be bolted securely to a 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 workbench to the floor. Location This band only. saw is intended for indoor use Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body a. Always wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Wear a face shield if operation 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. d. 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. e. Make sure the blade runs downward toward the table. Always adjust tracking wheel correctly so that the blade does not run off the wheels. f. Always adjust blade tension correctly. saw ALWAYS adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the workpiece to protect the operator, to keep blade breakage to a minimum, and to provide maximum support for blade. g, When cutting a large piece of material, provide additional support at table height. h. i. Hold the work firmly against the table. j. 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. 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 permitted to rock while being cut. I. 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 clamp round material to a miter gauge, or provide equivalent support. m. When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut)... this is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf or because the blade comes out of the guides. If this happens: 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. n n. o. 1. 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 ed. band saw with cover remov- p. Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the blade is moving. q. Turn saw "off" and remove plug from power supply outlet before installing or removing an accessory. r. Use only RECOMMENDED listed on page 16. ACCESSORIES additional safety instructions Should any part of this band saw be missing, bend, or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off power switch and remove plug from power supply outlet. Replace damaged, missing, and!or failed parts before resuming operation. 9. for band saw Think Safety. Safety is a combination of operator sense and alertness whenever the is in operation. 10. This band saw is designed wood like products only. to cut common band saw wood and WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR BAND SAW TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY. WEAR YOUR The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown or] Package) before beginning power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail or catalog stores.

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 designed wood like products only. to cut wood WORKPIECE and For general type scroll cutting, follow 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. RIGHT - Planning for cutting a curve. 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 only. for clarity BLADE PATTERN LINE ahead by turning workpiece WORKFtOE of picture PATTE RN LiNE WRONG - Not planning curve could bind or twist forced. ahead for cutting blade if workpiece SAWING 1. .

Use gentle pressure. work, but allow the blade to to just clear the work into firmly against Do not force cut. WORKPIECE BLADE . The smallest diameter circle that can be cut out is determined by the width of the blade. A 1/4" wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1-1/2". I Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too small a radius for a 1/4-inch blade) is to be cut. A relief cut is made by cutting through scrap section 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. NOTE: Blade guard is raised for clarity only. PATTERN LINE of picture 15 RELIEF CU_S a i_ 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 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, 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. BLACK GENERAL Keep your Band Saw clean. - Remove sawdust from the inside MOTOR frequently. Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, 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. MOTORIELECTRICAL Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust the motor. If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged way, have it replaced immediately. from in any LUBRICATION All of the BALL BEARINGS are permanently lubricated. They require no further lubrication.
