Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

Page 16

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Horizontal Metal

Bandsaws

Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or moving parts or making direct contact with the moving blade. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,

cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use.

HAND PLACEMENT. Never position hands or fingers in line with the cut or under bandsaw headstock while lowering or operating. Hands could be cut or crushed.

BLADE GUARD POSITION. Adjust blade guard as close to workpiece as possible before cutting to minimize operator exposure to unused portion of blade.

ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate this saw without blade guard in place. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn into working parts.

BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes.

HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from machine components, ejections of hot chips, swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.

WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always properly support workpiece with table, vise, or some type of support fixture. Always secure workpiece in vise before cutting. Never hold the workpiece with your hands during a cut.

UNSTABLE WORKPIECES. Avoid cutting workpieces that cannot be properly supported or clamped in a vise or jig, because they can unexpectedly move while cutting and draw the operator’s hands into the blade causing serious personal injury. Examples are chains, cables, round or oblong-shaped workpieces, and those with internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.

FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid could lead to chip fire and possible explosion.

CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Cutting fluids are poisonous. Always follow manufacturer’s cuttingfluid safety instructions. Pay particular attention to contact, contamination, inhalation, storage and disposal warnings. Spilled cutting fluid invites slipping hazards.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit Requirements for 220V” has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding prong. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

No adapter should be used with plug. If plug does not fit available receptacle, or if

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Lifting & Placing

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the machine to the floor is an optional step. If you choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these provide an easy method for leveling and they have vibration-absorbing pads.

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below) are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later, if needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring methodology specified by the code.

HEAVY LIF T! Straining or crushing injury may occur from improperly lifting machine or some of its parts. To reduce this risk, get help from other people and use a forklift (or other lifting equipment) rated for weight of this machine.

The forklift and lifting straps must be rated for at least 1100 lbs.

Operation Tips

The following tips will help you safely and effectively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the maximum life out of your saw blades.

Tips for cutting:

Workpiece Inspection

Before cutting, inspect the material for any of the following conditions and take the necessary precautions:

• Use work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length.

• Clamp workpiece firmly in the vise jaws to ensure a straight cut through the material.

• Allow blade to reach full speed before engaging workpiece. Never start a cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece, and do not start a cut on a sharp edge.

• Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips are thin and powder-like, increase your feed rate.

• Burned chips indicate a need to reduce your blade speed.

• Wait until blade has completely stopped before removing workpiece from vise. Avoid touching the cut end—it could be very hot!

• Support long pieces so they will not fall when cut. Flag long ends to alert passers-by of potential danger.

• Adjust upper blade guides as close as possible to workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.

• Use coolant when possible to increase blade life.

Loosen blade tension at the end of each day to prolong blade life.

• Small or Thin Workpieces: Small or thin

workpieces may be damaged during cutting—avoid cutting these workpieces if possible. If you must cut a small or thin workpiece, attach it to or clamp it between larger scrap pieces that will both support the workpiece through the cut. Some thin sheet metals will not withstand the forces from this bandsaw during cutting; instead, use a shear, nibblers, or sheet metal nippers to cut these pieces.

• Unstable Workpieces: Workpieces that can-

not be properly supported or stabilized with the vise should not be cut on this bandsaw. Examples are chains, cables, workpieces with internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.

• Material Hardness: Always factor in the hard-

ness of the metal before cutting it. Hardened metals will take longer to cut, may require lubrication, and may require a different type of blade in order to efficiently cut them.

• Tanks, Cylinders, Containers, Valves, Etc.: Cutting into containers that are pressurized or contain gases or liquids can cause explosions, fires, caustic burns, or machine damage. Avoid cutting any of these types of containers unless you have verified that the container is empty and it can be properly supported during a cut.

• Magnesium: Pure magnesium burns easily. Cutting magnesium with a dull blade can create enough friction to ignite the small magnesium chips. Avoid cutting magnesium, if possible.

Using Vise

The vise on the Model G0592 can be positioned for cutting on either side of the vise base, and consists of a movable vise jaw that can be adjusted to match the angle of the workpiece. It also has a ratcheting-type leadscrew that allows for fast movable jaw adjustments.

Note: Figure 23 shows the correct methods of holding different workpiece shapes.

Variable Pitch (VP): Varying gullet depth and tooth spacing, "0" rake angle, excellent chip removing capacity, and smooth cutting.

To select correct blade pitch:

Measure material thickness. This measure-

ment is distance from where each tooth enters workpiece to where it exits workpiece.

Refer to "Material Width/Diameter" row of

blade selection chart in Figure 29, and read across to find workpiece thickness you need to cut.

Refer to "Material Shapes" row and find

shape of material to be cut.

In applicable row, read across to right and

find box where row and column intersect. Listed in the box is minimum TPI recommended for variable tooth pitch blades.

The TPI range is represented by a "/" between

numbers. For example, 3/4 TPI is the same as 3–4 TPI.

Tensioning Blade

Proper blade tension is essential to avoid blade vibration, twist, or slippage on the wheels. A correctly tensioned blade provides long blade life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting. The Model G0592 features a blade tension indicator to assist you with blade tensioning.

The three major signs of incorrect blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently breaks, and 3) the bandsaw does not make straight cuts.

Loosen blade tension at end of each day to prolong blade life.

Blade Breakage

Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to break. Some of these conditions are unavoidable and are the natural result of the stresses placed on the bandsaw; other causes of blade breakage are avoidable.

The most common causes of avoidable blade breakage are:

Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade

•

guides.

Feeding blade through the workpiece too

•

fast.

Dull or damaged teeth.

•

• Improperly tensioned blade.

Left blade guide assembly set too far from the

•

workpiece. Adjust left blade guide assembly as close to workpiece as possible.

Figure 39. Blade tension components.

Note: To fine-tune blade tension, use

blade tensioning gauge like the one found in Accessories on Page 40. Follow instructions included with gauge and blade manufacturer's recommendations for blade tension.

Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-

•

ished braze or weld.

Leaving the blade tensioned when not in use.

•

• Using the wrong blade pitch (TPI) for the

workpiece thickness. The general rule of thumb is to have no fewer than three teeth in contact with the workpiece when starting a cut and at all times during cutting.

Blade Care &

Changing Blade

Break-In

Blade Care

To prolong blade life, always use a blade with the proper width, set, type, and pitch for each application. Maintain the appropriate feed rate and blade speed, and pay attention to the chip characteristics (Refer to Blade Speed Chart on Page 32 and Chip Inspection Chart on Page 33). Keep your blades clean, since dirty or gummed up blades pass through the cutting material with much more resistance than clean blades, causing unnecessary heat.

Blade Break-In

The tips and edges of a new blade are extremely sharp. Cutting at too fast of a feed rate or too slow of a blade speed can fracture these tips and edges, quickly dulling the blade. Properly breaking in a blade allows these sharp edges to wear without fracturing, thus keeping the blade sharp longer. Below is a typical break-in procedure. For aftermarket blades, refer to the manufacturer's break-in procedure to keep from voiding the warranty.

Use the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 33 as a guide to evaluate the chips and ensure that the optimal blade speed and feed rate are being used.

To properly break in new blade:

ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD! You MUST install pulley cover before operating or severe injury may occur.

NOTICE

Only change speeds while motor is running. Changing speeds when machine is OFF may result in damage to machine. Always make sure belt guard is in use.

Model G0592 blade speeds: 98–394 FPM.

To change blade speeds:

1. Turn bandsaw ON and allow motor to reach

full speed.

2. Rotate speed adjustment knob (see Figure

40) clockwise to decrease blade speed and

counterclockwise to increase blade speed.

Note: Viewing window and indicator

(see Figure 40) on side of knob display approximate speed setting.

Choose correct speed for blade and material

type.

2. Reduce feed rate by half for first 50–100 in2

of material cut.

To avoid twisting blade when cutting, adjust

feed rate when total width of blade is in cut.

Chip Inspection Chart

The best method for choosing the cutting speed and feed rate for a cutting operation is to inspect the chips created by the cut. These chips are indicators of what is commonly referred to as the "chip load." Refer to the chip inspection chart below to evaluate chip characteristics and determine whether to adjust feed rate/ pressure, blade speed, or both.

Setting Blade Feed

Adjusting

Rate

The speed at which the saw blade will cut through a workpiece is determined by blade type, feed rate, and feed pressure. The feed rate is controlled by two dials on the control panel.

During operation, pay attention to the chips being produced from the cut and compare them to the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 33 to properly set the downfeed rate.

Note: If a lubricant is used on the cut, the feed rate can be increased by approximately 15%.

To set blade feed rate:

Raise headstock to required height for

workpiece, then use feed control dial to keep it from lowering.

Adjust feed rate dial shown in Figure 43

to desired feed rate from 0 (slowest) to 9 (fastest).

Cutting Angle

The headstock can be swiveled to cut angles from 60° left to 45° right.

Coolant System

Coolant is a mixture of cutting fluid and water. While simple in concept and function, many issues must be taken into account to mix and use the correct coolant. Always follow all product warnings and specifications, and contact the cutting fluid manufacturer for unanswered questions.

Use the information below as a guideline to choose the appropriate coolant. Always refer to the cutting fluid manufacturer for specific application and safety information:

• For cutting low alloy, low carbon, and general-purpose category metals with a bi-metal blade —use a water soluble cutting fluid.

• For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and high alloy metals, brass, copper and mild steels—use "Neat Cutting Oil" (commonly undiluted mineral oils) that have extreme pressure additives (EP additives).

Figure 54. Location of rod and set screws.

4. Install arm on rod on opposite side of rod (see Figure 55).

Remove knob, flip work stop, and install knob

to secure (see Figure 55).

Work Stop

Figure 55. Example of work stop and arm

installed on opposite side of rod.

• For cutting cast iron, coolant is not recommended.

Tip: Using a refractometer or hydrometer to replenish water in water-based coolant can extend the life of blades and coolant, and ensure consistent cutting results.

BIOLOGICAL AND POISON

HAZARD! Use proper personal protective equipment when handling coolant and follow federal, state, and cutting fluid manufacturer requirements to properly dispose of coolant.

FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT cut magnesium when using oil-water solutions as coolant! Always use coolant intended for magnesium. Water in the solution could cause magnesium-chip fire.

Coolant

Pump

Switch

Figure 57. Location of coolant pump switch.

This bandsaw has a built-in coolant system that can extend the life of your bandsaw blades by lowering the temperature of the blade and workpiece if used properly when cutting.

Running coolant pump without adequate coolant can significantly damage pump, which will not be covered under warranty.

Using Coolant System

Add coolant (refer to Adding Coolant on Page

46), then open the coolant valves (see Figure 56)

to control the flow of coolant before turning ON coolant pump by turning coolant pump switch to ON (I) position (see Figure 57).

Coolant

Valves

You can also install the splash guard on the base edges (see Figure 58) to catch coolant when an operation creates runoff.

Figure 58. Example of splash guard installed on

base edge.

Note: Too much flow at the coolant valves will make a mess and can make the work area unsafe; too little fluid at the cut will overheat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up and break.

Figure 56. Location of coolant valves.

5. With drain pan positioned to catch oil, remove

drain plug (see Figure 77).

Drain Plug

The coolant system consists of a reservoir, pump, and hoses with valves. The pump collects coolant from the reservoir and sends it to the valves, which control the flow of coolant. As the coolant leaves the work area, it drains through the machine base, where the swarf and metal chips are screened out, and back into the reservoir.

Although most swarf from machining operations is screened out of the coolant before it returns to the tank, small particles will accumulate in the bottom of the reservoir in the form of sludge. To prevent this sludge from being pulled into the pump and damaging it, the pump's intake is positioned above the bottom of the tank. This works well when the tank is regularly cleaned; however, if excess sludge is allowed to accumulate, the pump will inevitably begin sucking it up.

Hazards

As coolant ages and gets used, dangerous microbes can proliferate and create a biological hazard. The risk of exposure to this hazard can be greatly reduced by replacing the old coolant on a monthly basis, or as indicated by the manufacturer of the cutting fluid.

Figure 77. Location of drain plug.

When oil is drained, clean threads of drain

plug, wrap threads with thread-sealing tape, then install plug.

Lower headstock all the way, then fill gearbox

at fill cap hole until sight glass is about halfway full (see Figure 76).

Install fill plug, then connect machine to

power and run it for a few minutes before checking oil level (refer to Checking/Adding Gearbox Oil on Page 44).

Model G0592 (Mfd. Since 01/23)

When working with the coolant, minimize exposure to your skin, eyes, and lungs by wearing the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), such as long-sleeve waterproof gloves, protective clothing, splash-resistant safety goggles, and a NIOSH-approved respirator.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
