BEFORE EACH USE:

Inspect your saw.

DISCONNECTTHE SAW. To avoid injury from acciden-

tal starting, unplug the saw, turn the switch off and

remove the switch key before changing the setup, re- moving covers, guards, blade or sanding belt.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:

• alignment of moving parts,

• binding of moving parts,

Make sure lhe blade teeth point downward, toward

the table.

Make sure the blade guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted.

• Make sure the blade or sanding belt tension is prop- erly adjusted.

• Before sanding, adjust the sanding platento clearfhe table by no more than !/8 of an inch

• Make sure the bevel clamp istight and no parts have excessive play.

To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade breakage and provide maximum blade suppo_l, al-

ways adjust fhe upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the workpiece.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery.

To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use ;he saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands,

face and ears.

KNOW YOUR SAW. Read and understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its applica-

tion and limitations as well as the specific potential

hazards peculiar to this tool.

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts, don't do layout, assembly, or set up work on the

saw while any parts are moving.

AVOIDACCIDENTALSTARTING. Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw into a power outlet.

Any power saw can throwforeign objects intothe eyes.

This can cause permanenl eye damage. Wear safety

goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1

(shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI

Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

o Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jew-

elry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

• Wearnonslip footwear.

Plan your work.

• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attach- ment to do a job it was not designed to do.

• Use model 113.248211 to cut and sand only wood,

wood like products, and plastics.

damage to the saw, NEVER use model 113.248211

I CAUTION: To avoid blade breakage, fire or other

to cut metals.

• Use model 113.248321 to cut and sand only wood,

wood like products, plastics and non-ferrous metals.

CAUTION: Models 113.248321 is NOT designed for cutting or sanding ferrous metals like iron or

steel. When cutting or sanding non-ferrous met- als (brass, copper and aluminum, etc.), metal shavings can react with wood dust and start afire.

To avoid this:

• Disconnect any type of dust collecting hose from the saw.

• Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the saw.

• Remove all metal shavings from inside the saw

before sawing wood again.

• Tie backlong hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for hours at a time.

For dusty operations, weara dust mask along with the safety goggles.

Inspect your workpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpleces:

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held

down to the table lop.

NEVER use another person as a subslitule for a tab!e extension, or as additional support for a workpiece

thai is longer or wider than the basic saw table, orto help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

Dress for safety.

WEAR YOUR

When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, 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 thal will not lel it twist, rock or slip while

being cut.

Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the blade to "bite". To avoid this, always use a "V" b!ock or clamp the work to the miter gage.

Cut only one workpiece at a time.

• CleareverythingexcepttheWorkpieceand related

support devices off the table before turning the saw

013.

Before freeing anY jammed material:

• Tum switch "OFF".

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.

Donot hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will go

under the blade guard. Use jigs or fixtures to hold the work and keep your hands away from the blade.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps to hold work when practical. It's often safer than using you r hand, and flees

both hands to operate the toot.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into the

blade or sanding surface.

DON'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING.

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre- quent use of your band saw) cause a careless

mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe Injury.

Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop

immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

• Remove switch key.

• Unplug the saw.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

When backing up theworkpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust

clog glng up t he kerr or because the blade comes out of the guides, if this happens:

• Turn switch "'OFF".

Remove switch key.

Unplug saw.

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Remove band saw cover.

Stick flat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerl.

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.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW:

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe distance from the saw. Make sure bystanders are clear

of the saw and workpiece.

DON'T FORCE TOOL It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece into the saw

blade only fast enough to let itcut without bogging down or binding.

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Makeworkshop child-proof. Lockthe shop, Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the

tool.

WARNING: To avoid shock or tire, If power cord Is worn or cut, or damaged In any way, have it replaced Immediately.

WARNING: If not properly grounded this power

tool can cause electrical Shock- particularly when

used In damp locations close to plumbing. If an

electrical shock occurs there Is also the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands con-

tacting the sawblade. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that your outlet is

properly grounded, have It checked by a qualified electrician.

Yourunit has a plug that looks like the one shown below.

Thispowertoolisequipped with a 3-conductor cord and

ground type plug listed by Underwriters' Laboratories. The ground conductor has a green jacket and is at-

tached 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.

WARNING: To maintain proper tool grounding whenever the outlet you are planning to use for

this power tool Is of the two prong type, do not

remove or alter the grounding prong in any man- ner. Use an adapter as shown and always connect the grounding prong to known ground.

Have a qualified electrician replace the two prong outlet

with a properly grounded three prong outlet.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTICE: To avoid motor damage this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sew-

dust from Interfering with normal motor ventilation.

1. This tool should be connected to a 120v, 15 amp branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.

Faiiure to use the proper size fuse cap, resui_ in

damage to the motor.

2. If the motor faUs to start, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL.

MAKE SURE TH!S IS

KNOWN GROUND

Checkthe saw bladeto make sure it turns freely. Ifthe blade is free, try to start the motor again. If the motor stilldoes not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting

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 re-

started and the cut finished.

4. Frequent "b!owing" of fuses or tripping of circuit breakers may result if:

a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can

occur if you teed too rapidly.

b. LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed

for operation on the voltage and frequency speci- fied on the motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however, require voltage at motor terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor- rect connections, overload, reduced input voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire. AM,ays 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 (A.W.G.) extension

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 In- creased proportionately Inorder to deliver ample

voltage to the saw motor.
