Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, etc.) for any 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 fixture 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 blade 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.

ALIGNING THE BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLIES AND BLADE This band saw comes equipped with a 1/4-inch blade. This band saw can be used with blades of width from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch. The alignment steps must be followed for proper tension, blade guide, and bearing adjustments for each different blade. Refer to the blade usage section for the recommended blade size for best results during most band saw operations. NOTE: It is critical to the life of the blade that the following steps are followed. Premature blade breakage will result if these steps are omitted. 1. Turn the tension knob until the tension scale indicates 1/4-inch position. This will set the correct tension for a 1/4-inch blade. WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED STARTING OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT PLUG THE SAW IN. THE POWER CORD MUST REMAIN UNPLUGGED WHENEVER YOU ARE WORKING ON THE SAW. 20 f/ 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 blade 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 byturning wheel by hand a few times. Repeat adjustment if necessary. 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. Repeat procedure BLADE GUIDE GULLET BLADE BACKUP BEARING 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. BLADE GUIDE BLADE GUIDE 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. 21 6. To insure the backup bearing is properly supporting the blade, push the bearing toward the blade until it almost touches it. Turn the upper wheel, by hand, checking the backup bearing to make sure it is not turning. If the bearing is turning the blade is too close.
