To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces or broken blades:

Use of right Made size, style and cutting speed tor the material and the type ol cutting you plan to do

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES, (See page 36) Consult this Owner's manual for recom-

mended accessories Follow the instructions that come with the accessories.. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury to persons

• Make sure your lingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the saw

To avoid back injury, get help or use recommended casters when you need to move the saw Always get

help if you need to lift the saw,

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur il the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting tool. Do

not store anything above or near the toot where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them°

BEFORE EACH USE:

Inspect your saw°

DISCONNECT THE SAW.. To avoid injury from acciden-

tal starling, unplug the saw, turn the switch oil and remove the switch key before changing the setup, re-

moving covers, guards, blade or sanding belt.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS,, Check for:

alignment ol moving parts,

• binding of moving parts,

• Make sure the blade teeth point downward, toward the table

• Make sure the blade guides and thrusl bearings are properly adjusted

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

, Before sanding, adjust the sanding platen 1oclearthe

table by no more than t/8 of an inch

• Make sure the bevel clamp is tight and no parts tlave excessive play

To avoid accidental blade conlact, minimize blade breakage and provide maximum blade supporl, al-

ways adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard lo just clear the workpiece

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor must nol be slippery

To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use tf_esaw

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 application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards

peculiar to this tool..

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

while any parts are moving. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is

"OFF" before plugging saw into a power outlet

Plan your work.

- USE THE RIGHT TOOL.. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job it was designed to do..

• Use model 113248212 to cut and sand only wood,

wood like products and plastics.

CAUTION: To avoid blade breakage, fire or other]

damage to the saw, NEVER use model 113.248212 to cut metals.

° Use model 113248322 to cut and sand only wood,

wood like products, plastics and non-ferrous metals

CAUTION: Model 113_248322 is NOT designed for'

cutting or' sanding ferrous metals like iron or steel.

When cutting or sanding non-ferrous metals (brass, copper' and aluminum, etc.), metal shavings

can react with wood dust and start a fire.

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.

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.. This can cause perrnanent eye damage. Wear safety

goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z871 (shown on package) Everyday eyeglasses have only_

impact resistance 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

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches).. They can get caught and draw

you into moving parts * Wear nonslip footwear * Tie back long 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, wear a 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

workpieces:

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top

NEVER use another 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, or to help feed, support or pull the workpieceo

Dress for safety

When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade.. A piece of molding for example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture

of 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 during a cut, causing the blade to "bite". To avoid this, always use a

"V" block or' clamp the work to the miter gage..

° Cut only one workpiece at a time.

• Cleareverythingexcepttheworkpieceandrelated supportdevicesoffthetablebeforeturningthesaw

Before freeing any jammed material: , Turn switch "OFF"

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start

to finish,

Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingerswiil 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, if'soften safer than using your hand, and frees both hands to operate the tool

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a

sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move intothe 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 asecond isenough

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 paris to stop

When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind

in the kerf (cut)_ This is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the 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 llat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerr

• 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 paris 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 itsdesigned rate. Feed the workpiece into the saw

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

Wait for all moving parts to stop

Make workshop child-proof.. Lock the shop Disco nnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store

it away from children and others not qualified to use the

tool

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protec-

tiono Your saw is wired at the factory for 120v oper- ation. Connect to a 120v, 15-amp, branch circuit

and use a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid

shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately,

ERectrican Requirements

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of the plug, when

installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet. WARNING: If not properly grounded this power tool

can cause electrical shock-particularly when used in damp locations close to plumbing. If an electri-

cal shock occurs there is also the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contacting

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.

Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below

3-Prong

Grounding

Prong

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and ground type plug listed by Underwriters' Laboratories., 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

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 manner. Use an

adapter as shown and always connect the ground-

ing prong to known ground.

Have a qualified electrician replace the two prong outlet with a property grounded three prong outlet..

An adapter as shown is availabfe for connecting the plug to a 2 prong receptacle.. The green grounding lead

extending from the adapter must be connected to a per- manent ground such as properly grounded outlet box.,

2, If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the

"OFF" position immediately Unplug the tool,, Check the sawblade 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 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 Tile motor may now be restarted and

the cut finished

4 Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break-

ors may result if: a Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you

feed too rapidly,.

b Low Voltage - Although the motor is designed for

operation on the voltage and frequency specified 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 volt- age specified on nameplate

5,,Motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect con-

nections, overload, reduced input voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever motor fails to per- form satisfactorily Check wire size and length with the

Wire Size Chart below,

Wire Sizes

Adapter

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and is in good condition

Motor Safety Protection

Note: To avoid motor damage this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from inter- fering 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 Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in dam- age to the motor,,

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power, To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over- heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter-

mine the minimum wire size (AW,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

increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor,
