To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to

the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate

electrical circuit for your tools.

"Yourband saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation,

Connect to a 120V, 15 AMP time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord

immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

Some dust created by power sanding sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

@ Lead from lead-based paints.

@ Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

@ Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCT ONS

BEFORE USING THE BAND SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert

and knowing how to use your band saw.

To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not

plug the band saw in until you have read and understood

the following:

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction

manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations, and

possible hazards.

2. KEEP GUARDS iN PLACE and in working order.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form

the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

DONq" USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't

use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose

them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at

a safe distance from the work area.

,MAKE WORKSHOP KID-PROOF with padlocks,

master switches, or by removing starter keys:

8. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or the

attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

t0. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your

extension cord is in good condition. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to

carry the current your product will draw. An undersized

cord will result in a drop in line voltage and loss of

power which wilt cause the tool to overheat. The table

on page 5 shows the correct size to use depending on

cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,

use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier tSe cord.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose

clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other

jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip

footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering

to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE

WP.AR YO_ PROTECTION. Any band saw

can throw foreign objects into

the eyes which could cause

permanent eye damage.

ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles

(not glasses) that comply with

ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses

have only impact-resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety

glasses. Safety Goggles are available at Sears. NOTE:

Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1

could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing and

sanding operations produce dust.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work

when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it

frees both hands to operate tool.

D_SCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, and when

changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters,

and the like.

REDUCE THE R_SK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.

Make sure the switch is in OFF position before plugging

in.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the

owner's manual for the recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury

to persons.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur

if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally

contacted.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use

of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged

should be carefully checked to determine that it will

operate properiy and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving #_rts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other

conditions that may affect its operation, A guard or

other part that is damaged should be properly repaired

or replaced.

ELECTRICAL REQUHREMENTS

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPEC_FICATIONS

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the

NSTRUCTRONS

tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical

circuit for your tools.Your saw is wired at the factory for

120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and

use a I5 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid

shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged-in

any way, have it replaced immediately.

INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. The

Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is

properly grounded, tf you are not sure have a qualified

electrician check the receptacle.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the

operator from electrical shock.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric

current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is

equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug

MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL

local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit

the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a

qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The

conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow

stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair

or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,

DO NO[ connect the equipment grounding conductor

to a five'terminal.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you

do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or

if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded,

USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong

grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept

the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn

cord immediately.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit

must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected

with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor

to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF

position and the electric current is rated the same as the

current stamped on the motor nameplate, Running at a

Lower voltage will damage the motor.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle

like the one illustrated in FIGURE A. FIGURE A shows a

3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding

conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available,

an adapter (FIGURE B) can be used to temporarily connect

this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle.

The temporary adapter should be installed by a qualified

technician. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a rigid lug

extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent

earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.

THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD BE USED ONLY

UNTIL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET CAN BE

GUIDEUNES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your

extension cord is in good condition. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry

the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will

result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will

cause the tool to overheat. The table below shows the

correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaf]er the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in

good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord

or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessiv

heat and damp or,wet areas.

_ENERAL CUTTING

or your safety, read and understand all GENERAL and

}PECtFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on pages 3 - 5 before

lsing the band saw.

)perating band saws involves a certain amount of hazard.

3efore attempting regular work, use scrap lumber to check

he settings, and to get the feet of operating the band saw.

:lead instructions and plan your work before cutting a

vorkpiece.

)o not turn the power ON until after you have made all

tdjustments, checked that the guard is in place, and turned

he wheel by hand to make sure all parts work properly.

\lways keep the guide assembly close to your work, 1/8"

_bove the workpiece.

)o not force the workpiece against the blade. Light contact

}ermits easier cutting and prevents unwanted friction and

leating of the blade.

Sharp saw blades need little pressure for cutting. Steadily

move the workpiece against the blade without forcing it.

To avoid twisting the blade, do not turn sharp corners or saw

around corners.

A band saw is basically a "curve-cutting" saw. It is not capable

of doing intricate inside cutting as can be done with a scroll

saw.

tt is also used for straight line operations such as crosscutting,

ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing.

To avoid blade breakage, fire or other damage or injury,

NEVER use this band saw to cut ferrous metals.

CUTTING CURVES

When cutting curves, carefully turn the workpiece so the

blade follows without twisting. If the curve is so sharp that

you repeatedly back up and cut new kerf, use a narrower

blade, or a blade with more set (teeth further apart). When

a blade has more set, the workpiece turns easier but the

cut is rougher.

When changing a cut, do not withdraw the workpiece from

the blade. The blade may get drawn off the wheels. To change

a cut, turn the workpiece and saw out through the scrap

material area.

When cutting long curves, make relief cuts as you go along.

CIRCLE CUTTING (FIG. V)

1. Adjust the guide assembly to 1/8" above the workpiece.

2. 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, ALLOW the blade to cut.

3. The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is

determined by the width of the blade. For example,

a 1/4" wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of

approximately 1-1/2".

FIG. V

Minimum

2-1,,'Z'D Circle Diameter

Blade Width

BLADE SELECTION (FIG.W)

CAUTION: Blade teeth are sharp. Use care whenhandling

a saw blade.

For longest wear and best cutting results, use the correct

blade thickness, width, and temper for the type of material

you will cut.

When sawing small curves and delicate work, use narrow

blades. Otherwise, use the widest blade possible, See FIG. V.

For cutting wood and similar materials with this bandsaw,

use blades 90" long in widths up to 1/2".

Do not cut ferrous metals with this band saw.

Common causes of blade breakage:

= Poor guide alignment and adjustment.

Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a short radius.

o Feeding too fast.

° Dull teeth or not enough set.

= Too much blade tension.

- Setting top guide assembly too high above the

workpiece.

o Lumpy or improperly fir_ished braze or weld on the blade.

Continuous running of blade when not cutting.

To avoid possible injury or damage, NEVER use this band

saw to cut ferrous metals.

CAUTION: When cutting nonferrous metals, metal shavings

can react with wood dust and start a fire. To avoid this:

1. Disconnect any dust collecting hose from the band

saw.

2. Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the saw.

3. Remove all metal shavings from inside the saw

before sawing wood again.

THE SANDPAPER BELT

NOTE: A sandpaper belt sands very rapidly. Practice with

some scraps of wood before you try to sand your

workpiece with the band saw.

NOTE:_;_ead the instruction manual carefully for "BLADE

GUIDES AND SUPPORT BEARINGS", "BLADE TENSION"

AND "BLADE TRACKING".

1. Open the wheel covers and loosen the blade tension.

2. Remove the blade, table insert, and blade guard.

3. Loosen the side set screws on the upper blade support

bearings and blade guides, and push them back as far

as they will go. Tighten the set screws.

4. Do the same on the lower blade support bearing and

blade guides.

5. Install the sanding belt and adjust the tension carefully.

6. Rotate the upper wheel by hand to check the sanding

belt tracking, and adjust if necessary.

7. Close the wheel covers.

NOTE: A new sanding belt wi!l stretch with use, check

the tension and tracking often.

adjusting, or lubricating your band saw.

To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha,

acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents

to clean the band saw.

To avoid eye injury from blowing debris, wear safety

goggles when blowing out sawdust.

BAND SAW

Sawdust will accumulate under the table and base. This

could cause difficulty in the movement of the table when

setting up a band saw cut, and also cause a fire hazard.

Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.

Keep your band saw clean. Remove the sawdust from the

inside. Vacuum or blow out frequently.

NOTE': Put a thin coat of paste wax on the table so that the

wood slides easily while cutting.

Do not allow filth to build up on the table, the guides, or the

support bearings. Clean them with Craftsman Gum and

Pitch Remover.

NOTE: Do not immerse the support bearings in the gum

and pitch remover.

BLADE WHEEL TIRES

Pitch and sawdust that build up on the tires should be

removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of wood.

NOTE: To avoid damaging the tires do not use a sharp

knife or any. kind of solvent.

When the tires become worn they should be replaced.

When replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels

but do not glue them on.

MOTOR

Frequently blow or vacuum out any sawdust from the

motor. Follow lubrication instruction on the motor label.

To avoid electrocution, or fire, i_mediatety replace a worn,

cut or damaged power cord.
