Keep proper footing and balance at all times. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. DISCONNECT 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 any tool. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may result in 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 THE POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. DO NOT 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 BEING TURNED 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. BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good 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 that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. DO NOT 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 the work area well lit. 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 feed 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. Use only a cord 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 16 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 THE 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 impactresistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate the tool. 3 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 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. 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. KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, AND WITH 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. STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush. MAKE SURE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw. THE BLADE GUIDES HAVE BEEN PRESET AT THE FACTORY. 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. IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk. 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 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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. 4 SYMBOLS Some of the following symbols may be used on this tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 6 ELECTRICAL SPEED AND WIRING 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. The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,000 sfpm. 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. **Ampere rating (on tool data plate) 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. 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. 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. 0-2.0 2.1-3.4 Cord Length 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0 Wire Size (A.W.G.) 25' 16 16 16 16 14 14 50' 16 16 16 14 14 12 100' 16 16 14 12 10 — **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. 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. 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.

Turn the 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 lock knob clockwise to retighten. Place a small combination square on the saw table beside the blade. Loosen the table lock knob and rotate the angle adjustment knob to tilt the saw table up or down to align table 90° to blade (0° position). Retighten the table lock knob. Using a 4 mm hex key, adjust the zero stop set screw until the set screw just touches the saw housing. Check squareness of the saw table to the blade. Make readjustments if necessary. Loosen screw on scale indicator with a phillips screwdriver and align scale indicator to zero. Tighten all screws securely. LOCK KNOB SMALL COMBINATION SQUARE ZERO STOP SET SCREW TABLE LOCK KNOB ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION See Figures 9 and 10. Remove the switch key. Before using the band saw, turn the blade tension knob on the top of the saw clockwise to engage tension. Fig. 8 TO INCREASE TENSION TO DECREASE TENSION NOTE: Adjustments of blade tension can be made at anytime. Another method of checking blade tension has to do with the sound the blade makes when plucked like a guitar string. Pluck the back straight edge on the coasting side opposite the blade guides while turning the tension knob. Sound should be a musical note. Sound becomes higher pitched as tension increases. Using either method to check blade tension can be developed with practice. Never increase blade tension so tight as to completely compress the spring. When completely compressed, the spring can no longer act as a shock absorber. NOTE: Too much tension may cause the blade to break. Too little tension may cause the blade to slip on the wheels. BLADE TENSION KNOB 14 Fig. 9 ASSEMBLY TRACKING THE BLADE BLADE TENSION KNOB See Figure 10. NOTE: Adjust blade tension properly before making tracking adjustments. Check that the blade guides are not interfering with the blade. To Adjust: Open the front cover by releasing the upper and lower latches. Watch the blade’s position on the upper tire through the tracking view window as, by hand, you slowly turn the upper wheel clockwise. If the blade moves away from the center of the tire, the tracking must be adjusted. If the blade has moved left or right of center: NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the hex nut for a larger range of adjustments. Be sure to retighten after adjusting. Turn the blade tracking knob (clockwise if blade has moved left and counterclockwise if blade has moved right) while turning the wheel by hand until the blade moves back and rides in the center of the tire. Check the position of the blade on the lower tire. The blade should be completely on the tire. If not, adjust the tracking until the blade is on both tires. Rotate the upper wheel by hand in a clockwise direction for a few more turns. Make sure the blade stays in the same location on the tires. Readjust, if necessary, until blade is tracking properly. Close front cover and relatch. NOTE: The 1/8 in. blade may not track properly in the center of the wheel. It may be better to track this blade on the back half of the upper wheel. BLADE ON WHEEL TRACKING VIEW WINDOW BLADE TRACKING KNOB HEX NUT Fig. 10 WORKLIGHT BRACKET WING SCREW WARNING: The blade guides have been preset at the factory. 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 blade guide support, thrust bearings, and blade guide bearings” procedures explained in the ADJUSTMENTS section of this operator’s manual. ATTACHING THE WORKLIGHT See Figure 11. Slide the worklight bracket into the slot at the back of the band saw housing. Insert wing screw and tighten securely. Fig. 11 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This worklight has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter the plug. 15 OPERATION CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNING: 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. The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is determined by blade width. A 1/4 in. wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of 1-1/2 in.; a 1/8 in. wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of 1/2 in. Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not hand hold pieces so small your fingers will go under the blade guard. 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: Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop, 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. 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: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal 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 Various straight line cutting operations in 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, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. When using the band saw for straight line cutting, the user can install a fence using an appropriately sized piece of wood clamped to the table with “C” clamps. 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. 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. 16 OPERATION SCROLL CUTTING LOCKING THE SWITCH 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. See Figure 12. Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe place. REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW Never remove jammed cutoff pieces until the blade has come to a full and complete stop. Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe place. Unplug the saw from the power source before removing jammed material. See Figure 12. Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe place. Unplug the saw from the power source. Make workshop childproof. AVOIDING INJURY Lock the shop. 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. Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come to a full and complete stop. Choose the right size and style blade for the material and type of cut you plan to do. 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. Use only recommended accessories. With the exception of the workpiece and related support devises, clear everything off the saw table before turning the saw on. 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. ON OFF SWITCH KEY Fig. 12 17 OPERATION TILTING THE TABLE See Figure 13. Loosen the table lock knob slightly.
