WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE

SAW

1. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

a. Place the saw on afirm level surface where

there is plenty of room for feeding the work-

piece.

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

WEAR YOUR

with ANSI Z87.1 could result in severe injury

from breakage of the eye protection.

c. For dusty operations, wear a face shield along

with safety goggles.

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 work-

pieces, 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.Donotwear gloves.

2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

k.

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 adjust blade or

sanding belt tension.

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.

2. Plan your hand placement so your fingers

will not be where a sudden slip could cause

them to hit the blade.

Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and

there is no excessive play in any parts.

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,

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.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY

(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR

BAND SAW) TO CAUSE A CARELESS MIS-

TAKE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARE-

LESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFI-

CIENT 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.

4, Wait for all moving parts to stop.

5. Remove band saw cover.

6. Stick a flat blade screwdriver or wedge into

the kerf.

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.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage this motor should

be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep

sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventila-

tion.

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 saw blade to make sure it turns

freely. If the blade is free, try to start the motor

again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the

"Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."

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.

4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping or circuit

breakers may result if:

a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can

occur if you feed too rapidly.

b. LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is de-

signed for operation on the voltage and fre-

quency specified on the motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on voltages

not more than 10% above or below the name-

plate 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

the Wire Size Chart below.

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.) exten-

sion 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.

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 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 proce-

dure 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.

ALL MODELS

WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY, COMPLY WITH

ALL THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 3-5

BEFORE USING THE BAND SAW.

Aband saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It

is not capable of doing inside cutting.

Your Craftsman Band Saw is not only capable of the

usual band saw operations, but it can be converted

into a sander as well. You can finish wood, certain

compositions and plastics.

It is also used for straight-line cutting operations

such as crosscutting, ripping, mitering, beveling,

compound cutting, and resawing.

Operation Recommended Blade Size

(Inches)

Cross Cutting 1/4, 3/8, 1/2

Ripping 1/2

Mitering 1/4, 3/8, 1/2

Beveling 1/4, 3/8, 1/2

Compound Cutting 1/4, 3/8, 1/2

t. Adjust the upper guides to just clear the work-

piece.

2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the

blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the

table. Use gentle pressure, and do not force the

work, but allow the blade to cut.

3. The smallest diameter that can be cut out is

determined by the width of the blade. For

example, a 1/4-inch wide blade will cut a mini-

mum diameter of approximately 1-1/2-inch (see

chart).

lower backup bearings in place and push the

bearings all the way back_ Tighten setscrews so

bearings will remain.

4. Slide the sanding platen into the blade slot in the

table and fasten to the upper blade guide

assembly where the right blade guide mounts. It

may be necessary to loosen the left blade guide

and slide it backwards until platen is in place.

5, Slide the upper left blade guide towards the

sanding platen and tighten mounting screw

securely.

6. Slide the lower teft blade guide towards the

sanding platen until the platen rests 1/8-inch

away from the right edge of the slot in the work

table, SANDING PLATEN

INSTALLING THE SANDING BELT

1. Install the sanding belt and adjust tension to the

sanding position. (The letter "S" on the scale.)

2. Rotate the upper wheel by hand (clockwise) to

check the sanding belt tracking. Adjust tracking

if necessary. (Reference the blade tracking sec-

tion for tracking procedure.)

3. After tracking the sanding belt if the belt and the

platen do not align loosen the upper blade guide

support and slide the support in or out to align.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN

SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER

SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR

LUBRICATING YOUR BAND SAW.

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.

CAUTION: 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.

ADJUSTING BAND SAW BEVEL TRAVEL

If the band saw will not hold its position when at a

bevel angle, and before the bevel look is locked, or if

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

leg, reach between the spokes of the lower wheel to

the capscrews. Adjust the capscrews equally until

the bevel action is smooth and the saw wilt hold its

position before the bevel lock is locked.

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BLADE GUIDE

TRAVEL

If the upper guide bar will not move up and down

easily or falls when the lock knob is loosened, the

following adjustment should be performed.

1. Remove the Guide Bar Lock Knob and the

washer which is under it.

2. Using a 7/16" socket or wrench, tighten the nut

which is under the washer to just tight.

3. Then loosen the same nut 1 turn.

4. Move the guide bar up and down to check for

smooth movement while still holding its position

when released.

5. Make further adjustments to the nut as required

to get the guide bar to move smoothly and hold

its position when released.

6. Reinstafl the washer and Guide Bar Lock Knob.

General Maintenance

Keep your band saw clean. Remove the sawdust

from the inside. Vacuum or blow out frequently.

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

orthe back-up bearings. Clean them with Craftsman

Gum and Pitch Remover.

CAUTION: Do not immerse the backup bearings in

the gum and pitch remover.

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

wood slides easily while cutting.
