To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to
the toot, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate
electrical circuit for your tools.The Band Saw is wired at tile factory for 120V operation.
Connect to a 120V, 15 AMP branch circuit and use a 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 ally way.

SPECIFIC

SAFETY

11. PLAN intricate and small work carefully to avoid
pinching the blade. Avoid awkward operation and
hand positions to prevent accidental contact with the
blade.

12. SMALL PIECES should be secured with jigs or
fixtures. Do not hand hold pieces that are so small
your fingers are under the blade guard.
13. SUPPORT round work properl.y (with a V-block or
clamped to the miter gauge) to prevent it from rolling
and the blade from biting.
14. CUT only one workpiece at a tirne. Make sure the
table is clear of everyttling except the workpiece and
its guides before you turn the saw on.
15. ALWAYS WATCH the saw run before each use. If
there is excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop
irnmediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug it immediately.
Do not start the saw again until the problem has
been located and corrected.

DON'T LEAVE the work area until all moving parts
are stopped. To childproof the workshop, shut off the
power to rnaster switches and rernove the switch key
from the band saw. Store it in a safe place, away

7b avoid twisting the blade do not turn sharp corners; 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.
It is also Llse'dfor 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 cutmetals.
CUTTING

Renlove the switch key whenever the saw is not in use.
Place it in a safe place and out of reach of children.
Fig. Z

CURVES

When cutting curves, carefully turn the workplece 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 wittTdraw the workpiece frorn
the blade. The blade may _:jetdrawn of[ 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.

GENERAL

CUTTING

For your safety, read and understand all GENERAL and
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on pages 3-5 before
using the band saw.
Operating band saws involves a certain amount of hazard.'
Before attempting regular work, Use scrap lumber to check
the settings, and to get the feel of operating the band saw.
Read instructions and plan your work before cutting a
workpiece.

CIRCLE CUTTING
(Fig. AA)
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. Tt7e smallest diameter circle that can be cut is
determined
by the width of the blade. For example_
1/4" wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of
approximately

1-1/2".

Fig. AA

Do not turn the power ON until after you have made all •
adjustments, checked that the guard is in place, and turned
the wheel by hand Io make sure all parts workproperly.
Always keep the guide assembly 1/8" above the workpiece.

MinirlTum

Do not force the workpiece against the blade. Light contact
permits easier cutting and prevents unwanted friction and
heating of the blade.
Sharp saw blades need little pressure for cutting. Steadily
move the workpiece against the blade without forcing it.
