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 componentsdo 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 your 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 glasses) that comply

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

WEAR YOUR

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

c. For dusty operations, wear aface shield along

with safety goggles.

d. Use extra caution with large, very small, or

awkward workpieces.

1. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, etc.) forany workpieces large enough to tip

when not held down to the table top.

2. 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 fixtu re or jig that

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

4. Properly support round material such as

dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the b!ade 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.

Toavoidbeingsuddenlycaughtintheblade:

1.Donotwear gloves.

2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

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 attach ment,

or making any adjustments. 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.

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.

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 INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.

a. If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it

vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn the saw off. Remove switch key and unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and

correcting 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 kerf (cut). This Js usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerr 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 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.

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 ventila- tion.

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."

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.

4. 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 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 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 (AW.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.
