ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH
GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
A
B
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 120 V single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong 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 electrician before
proceeding.
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.
C
CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 240V
Note: When converting motor voltage on a machine that
is equipped with a magnetic switch, the switch contactor
must also be changed out for one made for the appropriate voltage, as well as the thermal relay/circuit breaker
and “power in” indicator light (if applicable). Failure to
make these necessary modifications to the switch will lead
to malfunction and permanent switch failure.
Should you need to convert your machine’s motor
from 120 V to 240 V power, contact a qualified electrician. Unless you are a qualified electrician, we do
not recommend attempting this conversion on your
own. If you choose to do so, you may risk serious personal injury, damage to the motor and voiding the
warranty of your machine. We suggest you ask your
local General International distributor to recommend
qualified electricians in your area (or perhaps one of
their own technicians) who can make this conversion
properly and safely.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with
your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong 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.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / SAFETY ZONE
THIS METAL CUTTING BANDSAW MODEL 90-740 IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS
SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE. TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE,
ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 462 LBS (210 KG).
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 machine (462 lbs - 210 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.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
The magnetic safety switch on this bandsaw is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an electrical overload from damaging the motor, in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal
overload protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
Common causes of such overloads:
1. Overworking the motor by cutting at a feed speed that is too agressive, thereby causing an increase in power
consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
2. An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an increase in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the
chart in the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
3. Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure
thecircuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other electrical devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
To reset the overload protection switch after it has been tripped proceed as follows:
B
A
Remove the two screws A with a Phillips screwdriver and carefully remove the electrical box cover. Press on the
button B to reset the overload protection. Re-install the cover and then retighten the two screws A before starting
the machine.
REMOVING/INSTALLING A BLADE
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
There are a variety of different types of bandsaw blades on the market to suit various cutting applications. Your
results may vary based on usage, experience and personal preference. Ask your local tool dealer for suggestions
for bandsaw blades in 0.035” (0,9 mm) thickness and 3/4” (19 mm) width x 93” (2360 mm) length.
Note: Generally speaking, because one 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.
The blades with fewer teeth per inch are best suited to cut quickly and aggressively but do have a tendency to
bind (or get stuck in the cut) if turned too sharply. Thinner blades with more teeth per inch will cut more slowly but
can cut with more precision.
Common causes of blade breakage:
• Poor blade guide or support bearing alignment and
adjustment.
• Dull teeth.
• Too much blade tension.
• Lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld on the
blade.
• Cutting feed rate too high

ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
A properly tensioned blade is critical to obtaining maximum performance from any bandsaw. A properly tensioned blade will last longer and be much less likely to break prematurely.
If the blade tension is too loose you will notice that the blade will have a tendency to drift or slip off-line when
cutting and you will have more difficulty controlling your cuts. A blade that is tensioned too tightly will break prematurely.
The following information can be used as a guideline or starting point to assist you in determining ideal blade
tension. This bandsaw is equipped with a blade tension scale B, which can be used as a reference for the ideal
tension with various blade widths.
To adjust the blade tension
1. Lower the arm into the horizontal posi-
B
tion.
2. Turn the handle A clockwise to tension
A
the blade or counterclockwise to loosen the blade. The white mark should be
centered in the shaded zone of the tension indicator B.
3. Make a test cut on a sample piece and
if needed, re-adjust the blade tension.
Note: To check the blade tension, apply gentle
finger pressure on the blade side facing you.
The blade should not move more than 0.004”.

ADJUSTING BLADE TRACKING
The upper wheel is aligned at the factory, but it may eventually be necessary to re-adjust the alignment after a
long period of use or after maintenance. This potential misalignment can be corrected by adjusting the tilt of the
upper wheel.

1. Turn the lever D a quarter turn counterclockwise to
unlock the swivel base of the saw arm.
Note: If a quarter turn is not enough, lift the lever, turn it
clockwise, and then lower it and turn counterclockwise again.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDES
The guide bearings K keep the blade from moving from side to side during the cutting and must be adjusted
close to the blade (but not touching the blade) in order to ensure accurate cuts. The space between each guide
bearing and the blade must not exceed 0.001”. If less space is left, the blade will get stuck or jammed between
the bearings. Too much friction will cause blade to overheat and break.
Note: Before adjusting the blade guides, make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. Re-adjust the blade
guides after each blade tension or tracking adjustment.
2. Pivot the arm to the desired angle on the graduated
scale E. Lock the arm in place once at the desired
angle.

4. To lock the bearing position, retighten nut E while
holding shaft F with pliers. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the
other bearing, and then for the second assembly
located on the other side of the saw arm.
5. Make a test cut and re-adjust the blade guides if
needed.
ADJUSTING THE THRUST BEARINGS
The thrust bearing keeps the blade from moving back and out of position when the saw arm pushes against the
workpiece. The thrust bearing must be very close to the back of the blade H to prevent damage to the blade during cutting. To adjust it, proceed as follows:
H
1. Shut off the hydraulic downfeed control valve and
lift the arm into the vertical position. Loosen screw I
on bracket J.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUARDS
The blade guards should be adjusted based on the
dimensions of the workpiece.
To prevent the blade (which is flexible and which
would not otherwise be supported) from slipping out of
position during cutting, and to reduce risks of injuries, a
minimum amount of blade should be exposed.
For a straight cut and to reduce the risk of twisting,
loosen lock knobs A & B and position the blade guards
C & D as close as possible to the workpiece, then
retighten the lock knobs.

CUTTING FEED RATE/SAW ARM TENSION
A hydraulic cylinder allows adjustments to the downfeed speed of the arm to control cutting speed.
Note: The valve B must to be open in order to adjust the cutting feed rate.
VALVE OPENED
- Turn the knob A clockwise to increase the cutting
feed rate.
- Turn the knob A counterclockwise to reduce the
cutting feed rate.
Note: Forcing the blade into the workpiece increases the
risk of blade breakage and can affect the quality of the cut
(burrs, chips, etc.).
USING THE COOLANT PUMP
The switch F allows you to turn the coolant system pump
“ON” or “OFF”. You can also stop the flow of the liquid
coolant by closing valve G.
Make sure that the level of liquid coolant in the tank
located under the table is between 3 (minimum) and 5
liters (maximum).
Note: To reduce the risk of blade breakage and obtain
cleaner cuts, always use the coolant system except for vertical cuts.

OPERATIONS STEP-BY-STEP
NEVER USE THE SAW WITHOUT ALL GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE. BEFORE STARTING THE SAW BE SURE THAT THE
BLADE IS NOT ALREADY IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
For horizontal cuts
1. Raise the saw arm by the handle and lock it in position by shutting off the hydraulic downfeed control valve.
2. Trace the cutting line on your workpiece with a pencil and clamp the material firmly in the vise to ensure a
straight cut through the material. Make sure the workpiece is properly secured in the vise. Refer to the chart
below for proper stock placement in the vise.
Note: Use the work stop to make repeat cuts to the same length.
3. Adjust the blade guards as close as possible to the workpiece.
4. Start the machine.
5. Allow the blade to come to full speed, then begin the cut by opening the hydraulic downfeed control valve
and letting the head down slowly onto the workpiece. Re-adjust the cutting feed rate if needed.
Note: Do not drop or force the head onto the workpiece.
6. Wait for the automatic shutdown of the saw before carefully removing the workpiece from the vise.
BURN DANGER: DO NOT USE BARE HANDS TO TOUCH THE WORKPIECE AT THE CUT LOCATION UNTIL IT HAS COOLED.
For vertical cuts
1. Shut off the hydraulic downfeed control valve and lift the arm into the vertical position.
2. Make sure that the vertical table is securely installed so that it will adequately support the workpiece.
3. Adjust the blade guards as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.
