PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX118 is for use on a normal 110 volt
circuit. Make sure that the machine is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. If an adaptor plug
is used, it must be attached to the metal
screw of the receptacle. To prevent
electrical hazards, have a qualified
electrician ensure that the line is properly
wired.
The band saw should be wired with a plug
having 3 prongs to fit a 3 prong grounded
receptacle as shown in figure-1. Do not
remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2
pronged outlet.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX118. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
make sure the extension cord does not
exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is 14gauge to prevent motor damage.

BLADE TRACKING
ADJUSTMENT
The blade tracking refers to where blade
rides on the upper and lower wheels. The
blade should always be centered on both
wheels.
Although the blade tracking of this band
saw is factory set. However we recommend
you to check it again to make sure that the
blade is centered on the wheels. The blade
tracking can be controlled by adjusting the
10
Page 11
tracking knob at the back of the band saw
shown in figure-9.
TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE BLADE
TRACKING:
Disconnect the machine from the power
source and open the upper wheel cover.
Rotate the upper wheel by hand slowly and
observe how the blade rides on the wheel
through the window shown in figure-10.
Figure-9 Upper wheel
Blade should track in the center of the
wheel.
If the blade does not track in the center and
needs to be adjusted, loosen the lock
thumb screw shown in figure-18 and turn
the tracking knob.
TIGHTEN THE TRACKING KNOB:
If the blade moves towards the front edge
of the wheel. It makes the top of the wheel
to tilt back and moves the blade towards
the center.
LOOSEN THE TRACKING KNOB:
If the blade moves towards the back edge
of the wheel. It makes the top of the wheel
to tilt to the front and moves the blade
towards the center.
When the blade consistently rides in the
center of the wheel after several rotations,
retighten the lock thumb screw and close
the wheel cover.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/FF switch on the CX118 comes
with a removable key which disables the
switch and prevents from unauthorized
operation.
Simply remove the key and the band saw
will not start. Insert the key back into the
switch and it enables the switch.
There is a small switch above the band saw
ON/OFF switch which turns the LED work
lamp on and off. See figure-11.

TEST RUN
g
Once you have assembled your machine
completely, it is then time for a test run to
make sure that the machine works properly
and is ready for operation.
Remove all the tools used for assembling
the machine components. Walk around the
machine, ensure all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tightened and the machine is properly
assembled. Connect the cord to the power
source and turn the machine ON.
During the test run if there is any unusual
noise coming from the machine or the
machine vibrates, turn OFF the power
switch immediately and disconnect the cord
from the power source. Investigate if you
can find out the problem with your machine.
WARNING!
Before starting the band saw, make sure
that you have read and understood the
instructions given in the manual and you
are familiar with the functions and safety
features on this machine. Failure to do
so may cause serious personal injury.
WARNING!
This machine can perform many types of
operations which are beyond the scope
of this manual and are very dangerous if
performed incorrectly. The safety
instructions given in this manual can not
be complete because the environment in
every shop is different. Always consider
safety first as it applies to your individual
workin
conditions.
DUST COLLECTION
The CX118 features a 4” diameter dust port
to collect to a dust collector.
Figure-12 Dust port
When using a dust collector, use the proper
sized hose and make sure all the
connections are sealed tightly.
It is recommended to use a proper sized
dust collector with CX118 to ensure
adequate dust collection.
WARNING!
The saw dust produced by the band saw
can go into your lungs and cause serious
health problems. Make sure the band
saw is connected to a dust collection
system while operating it.

Page 13
TABLE TILT ADJUSTMENT
The table can be tilted 45° to the right.
TO TILT THE TABLE:
Loosen the lock lever under the trunnion.
See figure-13.
Tilt the table to the desired position. The
angle can be read on the scale on the
trunnion bracket.
Tighten the lock lever.
Figure-13 Tilting the table
BLADE TENSION
A properly tensioned blade is very
important to get the best performance from
any band saw. If the blade is too loose
there is a possibility that the blade will slip
or drift off the line while in operation and it
will be hard to have accuracy in the line of
cut. If the blade is tensioned too tightly, it
will be very difficult to make tighter radius
cuts and there will be a great possibility of
blade breakage. When using a wider blade
for making straight cuts, for re-sawing or
making wide radius cuts, tighter blade
tension is recommended; while using
narrower blades for cutting shorter stock or
making tighter radius cuts, less blade
tension is recommended.
TO ADJUST THE BLADE TENSION:
Remove the cord from the power source.
Move the quick release tension lever to the
left to engage. See figure-14.
Turn the blade tension knob shown in
figure-14 clockwise to increase the blade
tension and counter-clockwise to decrease.
Figure-14 Blade tension controls
There is a gauge behind the upper wheel
inside the cabinet which indicates
approximate tension according to the width
of the blade being used on the band saw.
To release tension simply turn the quick
release tension lever to the right to
disengage.
The information above is just a guideline for
you to understand to set the blade tension
according to the cut. However,
understanding the blade tension adjustment
comes with practice.
IMPORTANT
To prolong the life of the blade and
reduce blade stretching, when the
machine is not in use for period of 24
hours or more release the tension on the
blade.
13
Page 14
SUPPORT BEARINGS
ADJUSTMENT
The guide bearings (beside) and thrust
bearing (behind) the blade, support the
blade to move in a straight line during
cutting operation. Properly adjusted support
bearings play an important role in getting
accurate cuts.
TO ADJUST THE UPPER AND LOWER
THRUST BEARINGS:
Disconnect the cord from the power source.
Make sure the blade is tracking and
tensioned properly.
For the upper thrust bearing, loosen the
thumb screw and for the lower blade guide,
loosen the set screw. See figure-15.
Once the thrust bearing is in correct
position tighten thumb screw.
Loosen the socket head screw with a
wrench and adjust the entire assembly back
or forth to just clear the back of the saw
blade. Tighten screw, then fine tune it by
adjusting the bearings as mentioned above.
Secure the upper thrust bearings by
tightening the thumbscrew and the lower
one by tightening the set screw.
GUIDE BEARINGS
ADJUSTMENT
The guide bearings are positioned beside
the blade.
TO ADJUST THE GUIDE BEARINGS:
Disconnect the cord from the power source.
Make sure the blade is tracking and
tensioned properly.
For the upper guide bearings, loosen the
two thumb screws and for the lower guide
bearings, loosen the two set screws. See
figure-16.
Figure-15 Upper and lower thrust bearings
Slide the adjustment shafts so that the
blade is positioned in the middle of the
thrust bearings.
The thrust bearings are mounted on
concentric shafts. When the shaft is rotated,
the relative position of the bearing to the
back of the blade can be changed.
Rotate the adjustment shaft so the thrust
bearing just clears the back of the saw
blade.

The guide bearing is mounted on a
concentric shaft. When the shaft is rotated,
the relative position of the guide to blade
can be changed.
Rotate each adjustment shaft to position
the guide bearings approximately 1/32"
away from the saw blade
Secure the upper guide bearings by
tightening thumb screws and the lower
guide bearings by tightening the set screws.
CALIBRATING
TABLE TILT SCALE
The pointer on the table tilt scale must
calibrated in order for the scale reading to
be accurate.
TO CALIBRATE THE POINTER ON THE
TABLE TILT SCALE:
Make sure the blade is tracking and
tensioned properly and the table is at 90°
angle with the blade. See page-18.
Loosen the screw on the pointer.
MITER GAUGE
ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the miter gauge, loosen the
handle and rotate the gauge body. Retighten the handle.

Page 16
WORK-PIECE INSPECTION
Before cutting any wood, make sure to
inspect the work-piece for nails, staples,
small pieces of stone or metal and any
other foreign object which is dangerous to
come on contact with the blade.
If the wood contains any of these objects
and it comes in contact with the blade, the
object might fly and hit the operator or
seriously damage the blade. For safety,
always inspect your work-piece carefully
before cutting and wear eye protection.
Some woods with excessive twisting or
wrapping are un-stable while cutting and
are dangerous to cut because during
operation the work-piece can move unexpectedly which can either damage the
blade or hurt the operator.
If the wood is slightly cupped, make sure
the cupped face of the wood is held against
the fence. If the bowed side of the workpiece is held against the fence, the workpiece will move while cutting.
Some stock with large knots can damage
the blade and wet stock will give a poor
result.
IMPORTANT
The information above is just a guideline
for you to understand how to cut a workpiece with slight cupping. If you are not
sure and do not have any experience in
cutting cupped stock, do not cut it.
Failure to follow these instructions might
bring personal injuries to the operator or
serious damage to the blade.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
To remove / change the blade, turn the
switch OFF and disconnect the cord from
the power source.
Open upper and wheel covers.
Loosen lock knobs under the table and
remove the extension wing from the table.
Remove the table insert, fence and fence
rail.
Release tension on the blade by moving
quick tension lever to the right.
Slip off the blade from upper and lower
wheels and remove from between the guide
bearings, through slot in the table.
Slide the new blade through table slot
leading with the smooth edge. Place it
around the upper and lower wheels and
between the blade guide bearings.
Make sure the blade teeth should face the
operator, and they should point down
toward the table.
Apply tension on the blade and make sure it
is tracking properly on the wheels.
Adjust the upper and support bearings.
Close the wheel covers.
Re-install the table insert, fence rail and
fence.
16
Page 17
OPERATIONS
Before operating the band saw make sure
you have performed the following
adjustments:
Blade tension adjustment (page-13)
Blade tracking adjustment (page-10)
Support bearings adjustment (page-14)
Make sure all the guards are in place
WARNING!
The saw dust produced by the band saw
can go into your lungs and cause serious
health problems. Make sure the band
saw is connected to a dust collection
system while operating it.
RIPPING
Cutting solid wood with the grain cutting
down the length of the work-piece is called
ripping.
Adjust the fence on the rails, according to
the width of the cut on the work-piece and
turn the hand-wheel to set the guide post
assembly 1” above the work-piece.
Now, turn the band saw ON and use a push
stick pushing the work-piece against the
blade.
CROSSCUTTING
Cutting solid wood across the grain and in
plywood or metal cutting across the width of
the work-piece is called crosscutting.
Mark the work-piece where you want to
start the cut from and make sure the miter
gauge is at 90° position on the miter slot.
Place the work-piece on the table so that
the marked point is aligned with the blade
and hold the work-piece against the miter
gauge.
WARNING!
Do not use your fingers to feed narrow
work-pieces into the blade. If you slip,
your fingers might come close the blade.
Always use a push stick.
Turn the band saw ON and feed the workpiece against the blade.
RESAWING
Cutting a work-piece into two or more
thinner pieces is called resawing. Wider
blades give better result, when resawing.
To resaw a work-piece make sure that the
table is at a 90° with the blade and use a
wider blade for better results.
Adjust the fence according to the width of
the cut you want, and lock it in position.
Turn the band saw ON and feed the workpiece into the blade using feed paddles until
the blade is completely through the workpiece.
CUTTING CURVES
For cutting curves always try to use
narrower blades. When cutting curves feed
the stock into the blade and turn it very
carefully so that the blade follows the line of
cut and make sure the blade does not twist.
Make relief cuts through the waste part of
the work-piece which makes the job easier
and prevents the blade from twisting.
17
Page 18
MAINTENANCE
During the life of your machine, you will
need to practice some regular maintenance
to keep your saw in peak performance
condition.
WARNING!
When installing, removing, cleaning or
servicing any part of the machine, make
sure the power switch is in the off
position and the cord is disconnected
from the power source. Failure to do so
may result in serious personal injury or
death.
CLEANING AND
LUBRICATION
The moisture from the wood dust remains
on the table surface and can cause rust.
Protect the un-painted cast iron surfaces of
the table by cleaning the dust and wiping
with a piece of cloth after every use. Apply
a protective coating after.
If the table becomes harder to tilt, remove
the table and apply a few drops of oil on the
trunnions
TO REPLACE THE V-BELT:
Turn the power switch to OFF position and
disconnect the cord from the power source.

Use snap ring pliers and remove the snap
ring that secures the lower wheel to the
shaft. See figure-20.
V-BELT
The V-belt stretches with use, and should
be re-tensioned periodically. To ensure
optimum power transfer from the motor to
the blade, the belt must be in good
condition and under proper tension.
Check the V-belt at least after every 3
months and more often if the band saw is
used daily.
18
Figure-20 Removing the lower wheel
Slide lower wheel assembly off the shaft
and remove the old belt.
