additiondl safety instructions for band saw

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your band saw works.

BEFORE USING THE SAW:

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO

NOT PLUG THE SAW IN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING

STEPS HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY
COMPLETED:

1. Assembly and alignment.

2. Learn the function and proper use of the on-off
switch, bevel crank and lock, upper blade guide

* Always wear safety 9099!«$ tHet comply

with ANSI Z87.1.

■Before tumirig mw on. check and adjust:
a) Blade Tension b| Blade Guide»
c) Thrust Bearings

bR YOUR OWN SAFETY:

* Ektor« turning saw on, adjust UPfER

BLADE -GUIDE to just clear workpiece.

■ Support, fixlur« or brace workpiece
firmly against tat^ so it will not rock
or twist from your hand.

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 ittendstoslip, slide,

or tip over during operations li ke 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 network 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.

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

c. Fordusty operations, wear a face 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.

3. 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 beheld by a fixture 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 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.

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. Roil long sleeves above the elbow.

g. Toavoid 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 biade 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.

j. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and

there is no excessive play in any parts.

k- To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your

fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the
plug when installing or removing theplugtoor

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 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 letthe

blade cut without bogging down or binding.

d. Before freeing jammed materia!, 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 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 fiat blade screwdriver or wedge into
the kerf.

7. Turn the upper wheel by hand while backing
up the workpiece.

f. Before removing loose pieces from the table,

turn saw off and wait for ail 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. Thistooi should be connected to a 120V, 15amp
branclr 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 innmediately. UNPLUG THE

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 (A.W.G.) exten
sion cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-poie
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.

2. Turn the upper wheel by hand a few times and
notice if the blade remains in the center of the tire
on the top wheel.

If the blade moves away from the center of the
tire while you are turning it, the blade is not
tracking properly.

The top wheel shaft is hinged so the blade can be
tracked. Tilt the wheel by turning the tracking
adjustment screw using a medium screw driver.

(See illustration.)

a. If the bladel moves toward the front of the

band saw:

Turn the tracking adjustment screw clockwise

about 1/4 of a turn, as though you were

tightening it.

b. If the blade moves toward the back of the band

saw:
Turn the tracking adjustment screw counter

clockwise about 1/4 of a turn as though you
were loosening it.

c. Check adjustment by turning wheel by hand.

TRACKING AOJUSTMENT SCREW

3. The upper and lower blade guides support the
blade and keep it from twisting during operation.
Adjust blade guide support whenever blades are
changed or replaced with a different width.

4. Push the blade guide support toward the blade
and adjust the blade guides so they are about

1/32-inch from the deepest part of the blade
teeth This deep part is called a gullet. Tighten
the set screw locking the blade guide support.
Turn the upper wheel, by hand, checking the

position of the blade guide support.

NOTE: Letting the blade teeth hit the blade
guides while using the band saw will ruin the

blade. The set of the teeth and the sharpened
edge of the teeth would be damaged. Proper
adjustment of the upper and lower blade guide

assemblies will prevent this from happening.

Repeat procedure for lower blade guide support.

5. Slide the two blade guides evenly against the
sides of the blade. Do not push the blade guides
or pinch the blade guides against the blade.
Rotate the upper wheel by hand so the blade
travels downward. This leaves proper space for
blade. Make sure one guide is not further from
the blade than the other. Tighten both setscrews
with a 1/8-inch hex “L” wrench. Repeat proce
dure for lower blade guides.

NOTE: The backup bearings support the blade
from the rear and will spin when the blade is

pushed against them while you are cutting. As
soon as you stop cutting, the bearings should
stop spinning.

basic band saw operation

WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY, COMPLY WITH
ALL THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 3-5

BEFORE USING THE BAND SAW.

A band saw is basically a “curvecutting” machine. It
is not capable of doing inside cutting.

Your Craftsman Band Saw is not only capable of the
usual band saw operations, but it can be converted

into a Sander as well. You can finish wood, certain

compositions and plastics.

It is also used for straight-line cutting operations
such as crosscutting, ripping, mitering, beveling,
compound cutting, and resawing.

CIRCLE CUTTING

1. Adjust the upper guides to just clear the work
piece.

2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the
blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the
table. Use gentle pressure, and do not force the
work, but allow the blade to cut.

3. The smallest diameter that can be cut out is
determined by the width of the blade. For
example, a 1/4-inch wide blade will cut a mini

mum diameter of approximately 1-1/2-inch (see
chart).

INSTALLING SANDING ATTACHMENT

WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
STARTING, MAKE SURE POWER CORD IS UNPLUG
GED BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO BAND
SAW PARTS.

NOTE: The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice

iwith some scraps of wood first before you attempt to
sand your actual workpiece.

1. To install the sanding belt and sanding platen,
remove the front table, front cover, blade guard,
and the blade.

2. Use a 1/8-inch hex “L" wrench and remove the
upper and lower right blade guides. The mount
ing screw used for the upper blade guide will be
used to hold the sanding platen in place.

3. Loosen the setscrews that hold the upper and
lower backup bearings in place and push the
bearings all the way back. Tighten setscrews so
bearings will remain.

4, Slide the sanding platen into the blade slot in the

table and fasten to the upper blade guide
assembly where the right blade guide mounts. It
may be necessary to loosen the left blade guide
and slide it backwards until platen is in place.

5, Slide the upper left blade guide towards the

sanding platen and tighten mounting screw
securely.

6, Slide the lower left blade guide towards the

sanding platen until the platen rests 1/8-inch
away from the right edge of the slot in the work
table.

INSTALLING THE SANDING BELT

1. Install the sanding belt and adjust tension to the
sanding position. (The letter "S ’ on the scale.)

2. Rotate the upper wheel by hand (clockwise) to
check the sanding belt tracking. Adjust tracking

if necessary. (Reference the blade tracking sec

tion for tracking procedure.)

3. After tracking the sanding belt if the belt and the

platen do not align loosen the upper blade guide
support and slide the support in or out to align.
Then tighten set screws to hold support and

platen in place. It may also be necessary to adjust
the lower blade guide support to align the blade
guide with the sanding platen.

NOTE: A new sanding belt will stretch with use, so

check the tension often.

ALL MODELS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN

SWITCH “OFF” AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER
SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR
LUBRICATING YOUR BAND SAW.

Tires

Pitch and sawdust that build up on the tires should
be removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a

piece of wood.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the tires do not use a
sharp knife or any kind of solvent.

When the tires become worn they should be replaced.
When replacing the tires, stretch them around the

wheels but do not glue them on.

ADJUSTING BAND SAW BEVEL TRAVEL

If the band saw will not hold its position when at a
bevel angle, and before the bevel lock is locked, or if
it is difficult to change the bevel angle, an adjustment
is necessary to correct the force required to bevel

the band saw.
To adjust the force required to bevel the band saw,

locate the three (3) capscrews holding the frame to
the motor mount. The capscrews are located in the
recessed area behind the hub of the lower wheel at
the 2 o'clock, 6o’clock, and 10 o’clock positions. Use

a 3/16-inch hexagonal "L ” wrench that has a 4-inch

leg, reach between the spokes of the lower wheel to
the capscrews. Adjust the capscrews equally until
the bevel action is smooth and the saw will hold its

position before the bevel lock is locked.
