potential hazards.
Always Ground All Tools.
If your tool is equipped with a three-pronged plug, you must plug it into a three-hole electric receptacle. If you use
an adapter to accommodate a two-pronged receptacle, you must attach the adapter plug to a known ground. Never
remove the third prong of the plug.
Always Avoid Dangerous Environments.
Never use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep your work area well lighted and clear of clutter.
Always Remove the Adjusting Keys and Wrenches from Tools after Use.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
Always Keep Your Work Area Clean.
Always Keep Visitors Away from Running Machines.
All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications, work capabilities, and its specic
.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Always make the Workshop Childproof.
Childproof
with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
Never operate a tool while under the inuence of drugs, medication, or alcohol.
2
Always Wear Proper Apparel.
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that might get caught in moving parts. Rubber-soled footwear is recommended
for the best footing.
Always Use Safety Glasses and Wear Hearing Protection.
Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Never Overreach.
Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.
Never Stand on Tools.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
Always Disconnect Tools
Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters.
Always Avoid Accidental Staring.
Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in cord.
Never Leave Tools Running Unattended.
Always Check for Damaged Parts.
Before initial or continual use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be checked to assure that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other damaged parts
should immediately be properly repaired or replaced.

12. CHANGING THE BLADE SPEED
WARNING:
machine has been unplugged from the electrical supply.
This band saw has two blade speeds:
A.
1620 feet/min for hardwoods, some plastics and certain
nonferrous metals.
B.
3340 feet/min for all other timber.
The lower bandwheel has two, integral, multi-vee form pulleys and
the motor shaft has a twin multi-vee form pulley.
The drive belt passes around the bandwheel pulley, the motor pulley
and the tension wheel. The belt tension is released and applied by
using the crank handle (See FIG. 22). This moves the tension wheel
and allows the speed to be changed.
(See DRIVE BELT POSITIONS HIGH/LOW SPEED on page 10)
Before changing the speed always make sure the

OPERATION
WARNING:
Before starting check if any part of your band saw is
missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken, such as the
motor switch, or other operation control, a safety device or the power
cord, turn the band saw off and unplug it until the particular part is
properly repaired or replaced.
The saw blade cuts on a continuous downstroke. To avoid injury
when hands are unavoidably near to the saw blade, they should be
placed on either side of the blade (See FIG. 26), not in line with it
(See FIG. 27). Use a push stick whenever possible when working in
close proximity to the saw blade.
Start the band saw by pressing the green ON button (See FIG. 28)
and wait for the band saw to come to full speed before starting to
cut. Never start the band saw with the work piece in contact with the
saw blade.
Slowly feed the work piece towards the saw blade, putting only light
pressure on it. With both hands, rmly hold the work piece down on
the table, and feed it towards the saw blade slowly.
Once the cutting operation is complete turn the band saw off by
pressing the red STOP paddle on the switch.
FIG. 26
FIG. 27
Blade
Correct
Blade
Incorrect
For best results the saw blade must be sharp. Select the right saw
blade for the job, depending on the thickness of the wood the cut to
be made. The thinner and harder the wood, the ner the teeth (14
teeth per inch) of the saw blade. Use a ne tooth blade for cutting
sharp curves. For thick wood cutting use less teeth, approximately 4
teeth per inch.
The machine is especially suited for cutting curves, but will also
make straight cuts. Do not attempt to turn the work piece without
pushing it, as this may cause the work piece to get stuck, or the saw
blade to bend.
An accessory rip fence is used to ensure safe and accurate straight
cuts of the work piece, usually in the same direction as the grain of
the timber. Please see separate instructions provided in the
accessory rip fence package.
WARNING:
When sawing with the rip fence and a tilted table, the rip
fence must be installed on that side of the table which is tilted downward.

WARNING:
To avoid injury due to unexpected starting, before
cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, switch off and disconnect
the band saw from the power source.
Never use water or other liquids to clean the band saw. Use a dry
brush.
Regular maintenance of the band saw will prevent unnecessary
problems.
A.
Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
B.
Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate opera-
tion of all moving parts and prevent excessive wear.
C.
Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from
overheating.
D.
Keep the inside (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent
accumulation of dust (See FIG. 29 & 30). Use dust collection if possible.
E.
To prolong the life of the saw blade, when the band saw is not
in use for extended periods, release the saw blade tension. Before
reusing the band saw ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and
tracking is checked.
