For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. Never operate the tool with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and work benches invite accidents. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. USE THE 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 cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, or jewelry that can get caught in the tool’s moving parts and cause personal injury. Nonslip footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. 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. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from power source. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally contacted. CHECK 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 properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, 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 must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction or rotation of the blade or cutter only. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. BLADE COASTS AFTER TURN OFF. KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool. INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating wheel. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes. USE ONLY OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS with approved ground connection that are intended for use outdoors and so marked. Page 3 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES BE SURE THE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove nails from lumber before cutting. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED before starting a cut to avoid binding or stalling. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center. REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by a qualified service technician at an authorized service center. WHEN SERVICING use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason. NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE PIECE AT A TIME or stack more than one workpiece on the saw table at a time. FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your saw to a stable, level workbench or table. The most comfortable table height is approximately waist height. DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY. Do not force the workpiece against the blade. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right blade size, style and cutting speed for the material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should point down toward the table. BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE. ALWAYS SUPPORT LARGE WORKPIECES while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Saw may slip, walk or slide while cutting large or heavy boards. DO NOT REMOVE JAMMED CUTOFF PIECES until blade has stopped. NEVER START THE TOOL when the blade is in contact with the workpiece. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use. BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADES, unplug the saw and remove the switch key. HOLD THE WORKPIECE firmly against the saw table. TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL BLADE CONTACT, minimize blade breakage, and provide maximum blade support, always adjust the blade guide assembly to just clear the workpiece. K E E P B L A D E S C L E A N , S H A R P, A N D W I T H SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickbacks. ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to a power source. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR ANY MEDICATION.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Page 6 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Bevel Cut A cutting operation made with the saw table at any angle other than 90° to the blade. Resaw A cutting operation to reduce the thickness of the workpiece to make thinner pieces. Compound Cut A compound cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. Resin A sticky, sap-based substance that has hardened. Crosscut A cutting or shaping operation made across the grain or the width of the workpiece. FPM 3,000 surface feet per minute, used in reference to surface speed of blade. Freehand (for band saw) Performing a cut without the workpiece properly supported on the saw table. Gum A sticky, sap-based residue from wood products. Kerf The material removed by the blade in a through cut or the slot produced by the blade in a non-through cut or partial cut. Kickback A hazard that can occur when the blade binds or stalls, throwing the workpiece back toward operator. Ripping A cutting operation along the length of the workpiece. Saw Blade Path The area directly in line — over, under, behind or in front of the blade. As it applies to the workpiece, that area which will be or has been cut by the blade. Set The distance that the tip of the saw blade tooth is bent (or set) outward from the face of the blade. Throw-Back Saw throwing back a workpiece in a manner similar to a kickback. Usually associated with a cause other than the kerf closing, such as a workpiece being dropped into the blade or being placed inadvertently in contact with the blade. Through Sawing Any cutting operation where the blade extends completely through the thickness of the workpiece. Leading End The end of the workpiece pushed into the cutting tool first. Workpiece The item on which the cutting operation is being done. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends, and edges. Miter Cut A cutting operation made with the workpiece at any angle to the blade other than 90°. Worktable The surface on which the workpiece rests while performing a cutting or sanding operation. Push Stick A device used to feed the workpiece through the saw blade during narrow cutting operations. It helps keep the operator's hands well away from the blade. Page 7 ELECTRICAL EXTENSION CORDS Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used. **Ampere rating (on tool faceplate) 0-2.0 2.1-3.4 Cord Length 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 Wire Size (A.W.G.) 16 16 16 16 14 14 50' 16 16 16 14 14 12 100' 16 16 14 12 10 — The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,000 FPM. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0 25' SPEED AND WIRING **Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit. NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown. WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

Fig. 14 Page 16 OPERATION WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. WARNING: To avoid blade contact, adjust the blade guide assembly to just clear the workpiece. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. APPLICATIONS You may use this tool for the purposes listed below: Scroll cutting and circle cutting of wood and wood composition products Relief cutting of wood and wood composition products BASIC OPERATION OF THE BAND SAW A band saw is basically a “curve cutting” machine that can also be used for straight-line cutting operations like cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. It is not capable of making inside or non-through cuts. This band saw is designed to cut wood and wood composition products only. Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw. Do not restart until locating and correcting the problem. CUTTING PROCEDURES Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table. Use gentle pressure and both hands when feeding the work into the blade. Do not force the work; allow the blade to cut. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause serious injury from contact with the blade. Never place hands in blade path. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) when cutting large, small or awkward workpieces. Never use a 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. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not pinch the blade. For example, a piece of molding must lay flat on the saw table. Workpieces must not twist, rock or slip while being cut. When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging the kerf or when the blade comes out of the guides. If this happens: Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop. Place the switch in the OFF ( O ) position then remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe place. Unplug the saw from the power source. Wedge the kerf open with a flat screwdriver or wooden wedge. Open front cover and turn the upper wheel by hand while backing up the workpiece. RELIEF CUTS Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too small a radius for the blade) is to be cut. Cut through a scrap section of the workpiece to curve in pattern line then carefully back the blade out. Several relief cuts should be made for intricate curves before following the pattern line as sections are cutoff of curve “relieving” blade pressure. SCROLL CUTTING For general type scroll cutting, follow the pattern lines by pushing and turning the workpiece at the same time. Do not try to turn the workpiece while engaged in the blade without pushing it – the workpiece could bind or twist the blade. REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is determined by blade width. A 1/4 in. (6 mm) wide blade will cut a minimum radius of 3/4 in. (19 mm); a 1/8 in. (3 mm) wide blade will cut a minimum radius of 1/4 in. (6 mm). Never remove jammed cutoff pieces until the blade has come to a full and complete stop. Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not hand hold pieces so small your fingers will go under the blade guard. Unplug the saw from the power source before removing jammed material. Place the switch in the OFF ( O ) position, remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Page 17 OPERATION TILTING THE TABLE AVOIDING INJURY Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should always be on a firm, level surface with plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece. Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walking or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy boards. Turn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug cord from the power source before moving the saw. See Figure 16. Loosen the bevel lock handle slightly. Turn the bevel adjustment knob, tilting the saw table toward the front of the saw housing until it reaches the desired angle. Using the scale indicator, check angle markings. Retighten the bevel lock knob to hold saw table securely in place. Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come to a full and complete stop. ON Choose the right size and style blade for the material and type of cut you plan to do. OFF Make sure that the blade teeth point down toward the saw table, that the blade guides, thrust bearings, and blade tension are properly adjusted, that the blade guide knob is tight, and that no parts have excessive play. To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade breakage, and provide maximum blade support, always adjust the blade guide assembly to just clear the workpiece. SWITCH KEY Use only recommended accessories. With the exception of the workpiece and related support devices, clear everything off the saw table before turning the saw on. Fig. 15 Properly support round materials such as dowel rods or tubing because they have a tendency to roll during a cut causing the blade to “bite”. To avoid this, always use a “V” block or clamp workpiece to a miter gauge. Before removing loose pieces from the saw table, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop. LOCKING THE SWITCH See Figure 15. Place the switch in the OFF (O) position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop. Remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in safe place. BEVEL LOCK KNOB BEVEL ADJUSTMENT KNOB SCALE INDICATOR BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW Place the switch in the OFF (O) position.

These settings are functional for some applications. We recommend that you check and adjust blade guide settings before first use of your saw. Refer to “Adjusting thrust bearings, blade guide support, and blade guides” procedures explained in the adjustments section of this operator’s manual. To prevent the blade from twisting or breaking, the blade guide assembly should always be set approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) above the workpiece. Turn the blade guide lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the blade guide assembly. Fig. 22 BLADE GUIDE KNOB BLADE GUIDE LOCK KNOB BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY As a guide, use a scrap piece of the same wood you are about to cut to set the height of the blade guide assembly. Adjust the blade guide assembly by turning the blade guide knob. Lock blade guide assembly in place by turning the blade guide lock knob clockwise. Always lock the blade guide assembly in place before turning on the band saw. Page 21 Fig. 23 ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To avoid personal injury, maintain proper adjustment of blade tension, blade guides, and thrust bearings. To check tension, raise the blade guide assembly all the way up to expose the blade. LOCK UNLOCK Push the blade to the side with moderate force; the blade should flex approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm). ADJUSTING THRUST BEARINGS, BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT, AND BLADE GUIDES See Figures 24 - 26. The upper and lower blade guides and thrust bearings support the band saw blade during cutting operations. The adjustment of the guides and bearings should be checked whenever a different blade is installed. WARNING: Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. To Adjust Thrust Bearings: The thrust bearings support the back edge of the blade during cutting. The blade should not contact the thrust bearings when you stop cutting. It is important that both upper and lower thrust bearings be adjusted equally and that both upper and lower blade guides be made simultaneously. Fig. 24 BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY UPPER BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT Adjust blade tracking and tension appropriate to the size blade being used. Wide blades will require more tension than narrow ones. Excessive tension may cause breakage of very narrow blades while too little tension may cause wide blades to track improperly and give poor cutting control. NOTE: The thrust bearing screw is the set screw located on the front of the blade guide support. It is the set screw on the front of the saw housing below the saw table for the lower bearing. THRUST BEARING BLADE GUIDE SHAFTS SET SCREW BLADE GUIDE BEARING Remove the blade guard by loosening the two screws. Turn the blade guide lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the blade guide assembly. Turning the blade guide knob clockwise, raise the blade guide assembly as far as it will go. Turn the blade guide lock knob clockwise to retighten. BLADE GUARD REMOVED FOR CLARIFICATION ONLY Fig. 25 they are just barely touching the sides of the blade and positioned just far enough forward as to not interfere with the blade's teeth. Loosen the thrust bearing and blade guide support screws. Adjust the thrust bearing and blade guide support in or out so that the thrust bearing is centered on the blade and is approximately 1/64 in. (.4 mm) away from the back edge of the blade. Retighten the screws. Loosen the set screw and move the blade guide bearings in and out. Rotating the blade guide shafts with a small screwdriver, adjust the blade guide bearings so that BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT SCREW THRUST BEARING SCREW NOTE: Do not allow blade guide bearings to contact the blade's teeth when the blade is pushed against the thrust bearing. Contact with teeth will damage the blade, bearings, and cause noisy operation. Retighten all screws and replace the blade guard if no additional adjustments are to be made. Page 22 ADJUSTMENTS To Adjust Blade Guide Support: Remove the blade guard by removing the two phillips screws that secure it in place. THRUST BEARING SCREW Adjust the position of the blade guide assembly. Loosen the bottom screw on the right side of the blade guide assembly using the 3 mm hex key. THRUST BEARING BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT SCREW Slide the upper blade guide support on the shaft until the front edge of the blade guides are about 1/64 in. (0.4 mm) behind the gullet of the blade. Tighten the screw securely. Repeat this procedure for the lower blade guide support. Replace the blade guard if no additional adjustments are to be made. LOWER BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT To Adjust Blade Guides: The blade guides help keep the blade from twisting and binding. The blade will be ruined if the blade teeth hit the blade guides while using the band saw. The set of teeth and the sharpened edge of teeth will be damaged by hitting the blade guides. Proper adjustment of the upper and lower blade guides will prevent this from happening. BLADE GUIDE SHAFTS Fig. 26 Remove the blade guard by loosening the two phillips screws. MITER GAUGE INDICATOR SCREW Loosen the two blade guide support screws that lock the upper blade guides. Rotate the blade guide shafts with a screwdriver to move the bearings closer or away from the blade. The blade guide shafts should just barely touch the blade. Do not pinch the blade.
