• Turn saw Off and wait for bisde to stop changing b_ad_s or leaving etoe. before freeing jammed material, • Maintain V,e" maximum ¢kmrsnce

WEAR YOUR

table and sanding belt.

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW

1. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement: a. Place the saw on a firm 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 components do 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 you r 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 g lasses) that com ply

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 with ANSI Z87.1 could result in severe injury from breakage of the eye protection.

For dusty operations, wear a face shield along with safety goggles.

Use extra caution with large, very small, or

awkward workpieces.

1. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

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 fixture or jig that

will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.

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.

additional safety instructions

f. To avoid being suddenly caught in the blade:

1. Do not wear gloves.

2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

g. 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 attachment,

or making any adjustments.

h. 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.

i. 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.

I. 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 INFLIC SEVERE INJURY.

a. if your saw makes unfamiliar noise or if it

vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn thesaw off. remove switch key and unplug the

saw. Do not restart until finding and correct- ing 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 kert (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf 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 upperwheel by hand while backing up the workpiece.

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 venUla-

Uon.

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."

3. 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.

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and ground type plug listed by Underwriters' Labora- tories. The ground conductor has a green jacket and

is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other

end.

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type outlet as shown above.

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 inthe 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

unpacking and checking contents

overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below

to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.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.

7. Carefully position the motor so that the poly "V" belt is around the motor pulley and the four

motor studs align with the slots in the motor mount.

8. Push motor studs through and install the flanged lock nuts to the three (3) motor studs with

spacers. Start the flanged nuts by hand only at this time.

9. Install the threaded stud through the hole in the lower leg of the motor mount and over the motor

stud as shown. Install the wing nut onto the threaded stud and turn wing nut until motor

slides down tensioning the belt.

THREADED STUD

10. Install a flanged lock nut onto this motor stud. Tighten the flanged lock nuts, using a 3/8-inch wrench, until almost tight.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the flange nuts. The motor should slide in the grooves to allow tensioning of the belt.

11. Install the wing nut on the threaded stud.

12. Check that the poly "V" belt is on both pulleys being sure that it is centered on each pulley.

13. Check that the pulleys are in line by sighting

down the side of the large pulley to see if it lines up with the small pulley. If the pulleys are not in

line, loosen the setscrew holding the pulley on the motor shaft and position the pulley. A notch

in the small end of the motor support is provided for access to the setscrew and belt.

FLANGED LOCK NUT WING NUT

14. Belt tensioning is done by tightening the wing nut which pulls the motor down. The motor slides on the three (3) spacers and is locked in place by the flanged lock nut at the threaded

stud. Belt tension is important. Over tensioning may

cause vibration while too little tension may allow the belt to slip under heavy loads.

SELECTING BLADE SPEED

The band saw has two speed settings: 3000 FPM for normal operation and 1500 FPM for operation requir- ing more control of the work piece.

When changing belt positions always remove the belt from the largest wheel first. When changing speeds from 1500 to 3000 FPM remove the belt from the band saw pulley first. When going from 3000 to 1500 FPM remove the belt from the motor pulley

first.
