YOUR

saw movement:

a. Place the saw on a firm level surface where
there is plenty of room for feeding the workpiece.
b. Adjust the saw so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
c. Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip, slide,
or tip over during operations like cutting long,
heavy boards.
d. Turn saw off and unplug electric cord before
moving the saw to a new area.
2. Store and use the band saw indoors.

BEFORE

EACH USE

1. Inspect your saw. If any part of this band saw is
missing, or bent, or failed in any way, or any
electrical componentsdo
not work properly, turn
the saw off, remove switch key, and unplug the
saw. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts
before using the saw again.
2. Plan your work to protect your eyes, hands, face,
ears and body.
a. Do not do layout, assembly, or set up work on
the table while the saw is running.
b. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Using
any power tool can result in foreign objects
being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
permanent eye damage. Safety goggles are
available at Sears retail or catalog stores. Use
of glasses or use of goggles not in compliance

with ANSI Z87.1 could result in severe injury
from breakage of the eye protection.
c. For dusty operations,
with safety goggles.

wear a face shield along

d. Use extra caution with large, very small, or
awkward workpieces.
1. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
etc.) forany workpieces large enough to tip
when not held down to the table top.
2. Do not feed small pieces that require your
finger holding the workpiece to go under
the guard area. Use jigs or fixtures to hold
the work and keep your hands away from
the blade.
.

When cutting
irregularly
shaped
workpieces, plan your work so it will not pinch
the blade. A piece of molding, for example,
must lay flat or be held by a fixtu re or jig that
will not let it twist, rock or slip while being
cut.

4. Properly support round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency
to roll while being cut, causing the b!ade to
"bite." To avoid this, always use a "V" block,
or clamp the workpiece to a miter gage.
e. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear
plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.

Toavoidbeingsuddenlycaughtintheblade:
1.Do notwear gloves.
2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
g.

To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
unplug saw, turn switch off and remove switch
key before removing the guard, installing or
removing any blade, accessory or attach ment,
or making any adjustments.
To avoid slips and jams causing injury:
1. Choose the right size and style blade for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to
do. Use this band saw to cut and sand only
wood, wood like products and plastic.
2. Make sure the blade teeth point downward
toward the table.
3. Make sure the blade tracking guides and
thrust bearings are properly adjusted.
4. Always check and correctly
sanding belt tension.

adjust blade or

To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize
blade breakage and provide maximum blade
support.
1. Always adjust the upper blade guide and
blade guard to just clear the workpiece.

WHENEVER

SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY
(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR
BAND SAW) TO CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
a. If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it
vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn
the saw off. Remove switch key and unplug
the saw. Do not restart until finding and
correcting the problem.
b. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the blade
or the sanding belt.
c, Feed the workpiece only fast enough to let the
blade cut without bogging down or binding.
d. Before freeing jammed material, turn saw off.
Remove switch key. Remove plug from power
source outlet. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
e. When backing up the workpiece,
the blade
may bind in the kerf (cut). This Js usually
caused by sawdust clogging up the kerr or
because the blade comes out of the guides. If
this happens:
1, Turn saw off.
2. Unplug saw.
3. Remove switch key.

2. Plan your hand placement so your fingers
will not be where a sudden slip could cause
them to hit the blade.

4, Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and
there is no excessive play in any parts.

6. Stick a flat blade screwdriver
the kerf.

k. To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the
plug when installing or removing the plug to or
from a live outlet.
Never turn your band saw "ON" before clearing
everything except the workpiece and related
feed or support devices off the table,

5. Remove band saw cover.
or wedge into

7. Turn the upper wheel by hand while backing
up the workpiece.
Before removing loose pieces from the table,
turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to
stop.

ACCESSORIES
BEFORE

SANDING

1. Keep the table and sanding belt adjusted so the
gap between them is no more than 1/16-inch
wide.
2. To avoid fire, shock, or cause electrical shorts,
do not sand metal. It could ignite the sawdust
inside the saw.

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Follow
the instructions that come with the accessories. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.

can

b. LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on the motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages
not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however, require
that voltage at motor terminals equals the
voltage specified on nameplate.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, reduced input
voltage (such as small size wire in the supply
circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire.
Always check the connections, the load and the
supply circuit whenever motor fails to perform
satisfactorily.
Check wire size and length with

PROTECTION

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage this motor should
be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep
sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventilation.
1. This tool should be connected to a 120V, 15 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker. Failure to use the proper size fuse can
result in damage to the motor.
2. If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to
the "OFF" position immediately. UNPLUG THE

WIRE SIZES
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 (AW.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which
have 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accepts the tools plug.
CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from
electrical service box, the wire size must be increased
proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to
the saw motor.

2. Turn the upper wheel by hand a few times and
notice if the blade remains in the center of the tire
on the top wheel.

TRACKING

ADJUSTMENT

SCREW

If the blade moves away from the center of the
tire while you are turning it, the blade is not
tracking properly.
The top wheel shaft is hinged so the blade can be
tracked. Tilt the wheel by turning the tracking
adjustment screw using a medium screw driver.
(See illustration.)
a. If the bladel moves toward the front of the
band saw:
Turn the tracking adjustment screw clockwise
about 1/4 of a turn, as though you were
tightening it.
b. If the blade moves toward the back of the band
saw:
Turn the tracking adjustment screw counterclockwise about 1/4 of a turn as though you
were loosening it.
c. Check adjustment

by turning

wheel by hand.

3. The upper and lower blade guides support the
blade and keep it from twisting during operation.
Adjust blade guide support whenever blades are
changed or replaced with a different width.
4. Push the blade guide support toward the blade
and adjust the blade guides so they are about
1/32-inch from the deepest part of the blade
teeth. This deep part is called a gullet. Tighten
the set screw locking the blade guide support.
Turn the upper wheel, by hand, checking the
position of the blade guide support.
NOTE: Letting the blade teeth hit the blade
guides while using the band saw will ruin the
blade. The set of the teeth and the sharpened
edge of the teeth would be damaged. Proper
adjustment of the upper and lower blade guide
assemblies will prevent this from happening.

BLADE

GUIDE

GULLET

Repeat procedu re for lower blade guide support.
5. Slide the two blade guides evenly against the
sides of the blade. Do not push the blade guides
or pinch the blade guides against the blade.
Rotate the upper wheel by hand so the blade
travels downward. This leaves proper space for
blade. Make sure one guide is not further from
the blade than the other. Tighten both setscrews
with a 1/8-inch hex "L" wrench, Repeat procedure for lower blade guides.
NOTE: The backup bearings support the blade
from the rear and will spin when the blade is
pushed against them while you are cutting, As
soon as you stop cutting, the bearings should
stop spinning.

it is difficult to change the bevel angle, an adjustment
is necessary to correct the force required to bevel
the band saw.
To adjust the force required to bevel the band saw,
locate the three (3) capscrews holding the frame to
the motor mount. The capscrews are located in the
recessed area behind the hub of the lower wheel at
the 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 10 o'clock positions. Use
a 3/16-inch hexagonal "L" wrench that has a 4-inch
