Motor Safety Protection
Note: 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 tool. Check the
sawblade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is
free, try to start the mot6r again. If the motor still does
not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting Chart".
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn the
power switch off, unplug the tool and free the blade
from the wood. The motor may now be restarted and
the cut finished.

Safety instructions for Basic Band Saw Operation
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face
and ears.
WEAR
(continued)
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece
from start to finish.
• Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will
go under the blade guard. Use jigs or fixtures to hold
the work and keep your hands away from the blade.

° Secure work. Use clamps to hold work when practical.
It's often safer than using your hand, and frees both
hands to operate the tool.
• Don't overreach. Keep good footing and balance.
Whenever
Dress for safety
Sawblade
Is Spinning:
WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your band saw) cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a
second is enough to cause a severe in)ury.
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.
This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety
goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1
(shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact resistance lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog
stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.
• Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs. If
it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop
immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not
restart until finding and correcting the problem.
Keep Children Away,
° Keep all visitors a safe distance from the table saw.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts.
° Make sure bystanders are clear of the table saw and
workpiece.
Don't Force Tool
- Wear nonslip footwear.
° Tie back long hair.
° Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
° Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for
hours at a time.
° It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.
° Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let
the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
° For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with the
safety goggles.
Before freeing jammed material.
• Turn switch "OFF".
Inspect your workpiece.
• Unplug the saw.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be cut.
Use extra caution with large, very smanl or awkward
workpieces:
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Remove switch key.
When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind
in the kerr (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust
clogging up the kerf or because the blade comes out
of the guides, if this happens:
• Turn saw "OFF".
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)
for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top.
• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that
is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help
feed, support or pull the workpiece.
° Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Remove switch key.
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your
work so it will not slip and pinch the blade. A piece of
molding for example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture
of jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
• Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or
tubing. They have a tendency to roll during a cut,
causing the blade to "bite". To avoid this, always use a
"V" block or clamp the work to the miter gage.
• Stick flat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerr.
• Unplug the saw.
° Remove band saw cover.
° 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.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time.
-Clear everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off the table before turning the savJon.
2O
o Make workshop child-proof.
Before Leaving The Saw.
- Lock the shop.
- Disconnect master switches.
• Turn the saw off.
o Wait for all moving parts to stop.
- Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from
children and others not qualified to use the tool.
• Unplug the saw.

Troubleshooting-Motor
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are particularly susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips
and should be blown out or "vacuumed" frequently to prevent interference with normal motor ventilation and proper
operation of the centrifugally-operated
starting switch.
Probable Cause
Trouble
RellNedy
Excessive noise
1. Motor
1. Have motor checked by qualified service technician. Repair service is available at your nearest Sears store.
Motor fails to develop full
power. Note Low Voltage:
Power output of motor
decreases rapidly with
decrease in voltage at
motor terminals. For
example, a reduction of
10% in voltage causes a
reduction of 19% in maximum power output of
which the motor is capable, and a reduction of
20% in voltage causes a
reduction of 36% in maximum power output
1. Circuit overloaded with light,
appliances and other motors.
2. Undersize wires or circuit too
long.
3. General overloading of power
company facilities.
1. Do not use other appliances or motors on
same circuit when using the saw.
2. Increase wire sizes, or reduce length of wiring.
See "Motor specifications and Electrical
Requirements" section.
3. Request a voltage check from the power company.
Motor starts slowly or
fails to come up to full
speed.
1. Low voltage.
1. Request voltage check from the power company. Check size of circuit wiring.
2. Have motor repair or replaced.
3. Blow out sawdust from motor. Have motor
repaired.
Motor overheats
1. Motor overloaded.
2. Windings burned out or open.
3. Starting switch not operating.
2. Improper cooling (air circulation restricted through motor
due to sawdust accumulation).
1. Feed work slower into blade.
2. Clean out sawdust to provide normal air circulation through motor. See "Maintenance and
Lubrication" section.
1. Burned switch contacts (due to
extended hold-in periods
caused by low line voltage,
etc.)
2. Shorted capacitor.
3. Loose or broken connections.
1. Have switch replaced and request a voltage
check from the power company.
Motor stalls (resulting in
blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers).
1. Starting switch not operating.
2. Voltage too low to permit motor
to reach operating speed.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers do
not have sufficient capacity.
1. Have switch replaced.
2. Request voltage check from the power company.
3. Install proper size fuses or circuit breakers.
Frequent opening of fuses
or circuit breakers.
1. Motor overloaded.
2. Fuses or circuit breakers do
not have sufficient capacity.
3. Starting switch not operating
(motor does not reach speed).
1. Feed work slower into blade.
2. Install proper size fuses or circuit breakers.
Check that wiring will handle load.
3. Have switch replaced. Blow out sawdust.
Starting switch in motor
will not operate.
