GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 110V single phase operation
and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3prong grounding plug A to fit a grounded type receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to
make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension
cord. If an adaptor plug is used C, it must be attached
to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a qualified eletrician before proceeding.
C
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your
machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if
an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a
power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician
or our service department.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE UNIT
his 14" wood cutting bandsaw is supplied with a 3/8" wide
T
general purpose blade and is designed to accommodate
blade widths from 1/4" to 3/4". Ideal blade length for this
90-140 SM1 model is 93 1/2" (2375 mm).
Note: Generally speaking, because the upper wheel height is
somewhat adjustable (to allow for blade tensioning), a blade
length variation of plus or minus 1/2" from the “ideal blade
length” can be accommodated.
Maximum inboard width of cut (space between the blade
and the body of the saw A) is 13 1/2".
For cutting thicker stock or for resawing, the maximum
epth of cut B (or max. workpiece height) is 6" (up to 12"

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
THIS MODEL 90-140 SM1 BANDSAW IS HEAVY (176 LBS - 80 KG). DO NOT OVER-EXERT. THE HELP OF AN ASSISTANT
WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEP.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on a
solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight
of the bandsaw 176 LBS (80 kg) and the operator. Using the
dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop
visitors or other shop workers) or other tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause
injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable
to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint)
or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to ensure that all
operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for everyone
but the individual operating the unit.

CLEAN UP
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by
rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral sprits or
paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solventsoaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by
clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted
surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove
paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into
the T-slot to remove the grease so the miter gauge will
slide freely.
