Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip­ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

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 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.

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 [phone].

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. Hands could be crushed
in vise or from falling machine components.

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.

WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support the
workpiece with table, vise, or some type of sup­port fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping
hazard. 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 will
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.

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

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

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.

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.)

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

Model G0811 (Mfd. Since 02/16)

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.

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:

Grounding Requirements

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.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

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.

HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,

and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.

To lift and place machine:

1. Position crate as close as possible to installa-

tion location, then remove top.

5. With an assistant helping to stabilize the load,
lift machine just high enough to clear pallet
and any floor obstacles, then place machine
in final position on shop floor.

6. Thread (1) M12-1.75 hex nut onto each of (4)
M12-1.75 x 50 leveling hex bolts, then thread
these into each of the (4) mounting holes in
frame (see Figure 9).

Note: Refer to Anchoring to Floor for addi-

tional options if you choose not to install
included leveling bolts.

7. Thread an additional hex nut onto each level­ing hex bolt (see Figure 9).

2. Unbolt machine from pallet.

3. Insert round steel bar stock through (4) lifting
holes in machine base (see Figure 8).

Anchoring to Floor

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.

The machine must be fully assembled before it
can be operated. Before beginning the assembly
process, refer to

Note: It is sometimes possible to flip the

blade inside out, in which case the blade will
be installed in the wrong direction. Check
to make sure the blade teeth face the same
direction as blade travel, as shown in Figure
28, after mounting on the bandsaw. Some
blades will have a directional arrow as a
guide.

Blade Travel

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 times.

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

To tension bandsaw blade:

1. Make sure blade is tracking properly (refer to
Blade Tracking on Page 49 for details).

2. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

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.

Blade Care &

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, feed
pressure, and blade speed, and pay attention to
the chip characteristics (Refer to Blade Speed
Chart on Page 30 and Chip Inspection Chart
on Page 31). 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.

• Dull or damaged teeth.

• Improperly-tensioned blade.

• Left blade guide assembly set too high above

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

• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-
ished braze or weld.

• Continuously running motor without cutting
anything.

• 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 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 31 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:

1. Choose correct speed for blade and material
of operation (refer to Blade Speed Chart on
Page 31).

2. Reduce feed pressure by half for first 50–100

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.

Feed Rate

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

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

Tools Needed Qty

Open-End Wrench 14mm .................................. 1

Setting Feed Rate

1. Raise headstock to highest position.

Note: This spring adjustment is an initial set-

ting. Depending on cutting circumstances,
you will have to fine-tune the feed pressure
with this adjustment. Increasing the spring
tension will reduce the feed pressure.

3. Clamp workpiece in vise.

4. Close feed rate dial to lock headstock and

blade a few inches above workpiece.

5. With correct saw blade and blade speed
selected, turn saw and coolant pump ON.

6. Open feed rate dial (see Figure 37), then
slowly rotate dial clockwise to a slow feed
rate until saw begins to cut workpiece.

2. Set Feed Rate Dial shown in Figure 37 to
desired feed rate—"0" (slowest), "9" (fastest).

Feed Rate Dial

Figure 37. Location of feed rate dial.

Setting Feed Pressure

1. Raise headstock to highest position to remove
tension on tension spring (see Figure 38).

2. Tighten adjustment nut (see Figure 38)

enough to remove tension spring play but not
enough to apply tension to spring.

7. Observe chips that exit cut, and increase or
decrease feed rate according to chip charac­teristics indicated in Chip Inspection Chart
on Page 31.

Work Stop

The Model G0811 is equipped with a work stop
that can be used to quickly position the workpiece
during a repetitive cutting operation. Adjust the
work stop as needed, then tighten the set screw
and knob to lock it in place, as shown in Figure 39.

Vise

Using Vise

1. Turn vise handwheel (see Figure 40) coun-

terclockwise to relieve any pressure on mov­able vise jaw.

Always turn saw OFF and allow blade to
come to complete stop before adjusting
vise! Failure to follow this caution may lead
to injur y.

The movable vise (see Figure 40) has a quick
release feature that allows jaw width to be quickly
adjusted when changing from one sized material
to another.

The fixed vise (see Figure 40) can be adjusted to
cut any angle, from a straight 90-degree cut-off to
a 45-degree angle, by loosening the front lock bolt
and rear vise lock handle. Positive stops at 90°
and 45° allow you to quickly return the fixed jaw to
either angle. Angles between 90° and 45° can be
read using the scale on the side of the vise table.
Use a combination square or bevel protractor if
higher precision is required when finding these
angles.

2. Pull or push movable vise jaw in desired
direction.

3. Finish tightening jaw against workpiece with
handwheel.

Blade Guide Arms

Coolant

The bearings are mounted on the right and left
blade guide arms (facing front of machine). The
arms are adjustable and should be set as close to
the workpiece as possible. This will help ensure
straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting
and drifting off of the cut line.

To adjust blade guide arms:

Loosen blade guide knobs (see Figure 45), and
slide blade guide arms as close to workpiece as
possible, then tighten knob.

Knob

Blade Guide Arms

While simple in concept and function, many
issues must be taken into account to find and
use the correct coolant. Always follow all product
warnings, and contact the fluid manufacturer for
unanswered questions.

Use the information below as a guideline to
choose the appropriate coolant. Always refer to
the coolant 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 coolant.

• 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).

• For cutting cast iron, coolant is not
recommended.

Blade Guides

Figure 45. Location of blade guides and blade

guide arms.

Important: Too much flow at the coolant nozzles
will make a mess and can make the work area
unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will heat
the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up and
break.

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 protection equipment
when handling coolant and
follow federal, state, and
fluid manufacturer require­ments to properly dispose
of coolant.

Coolant System

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

This bandsaw has a built-in coolant system that
extends the life of your bandsaw blades by lower­ing the temperature of the blade and workpiece
when cutting. See Coolant on Page 35 for addi­tional information.

To use coolant system:

1. Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign

material that may have fallen inside coolant
tank during shipping.

4. Make sure coolant control valves are closed
(see Figure 47).

Coolant Control Valve

(1 of 2)

Figure 47. Coolant control valve closed.

5. Turn coolant pump switch ON (see Figure 48)

before starting cut.

Coolant Pump Switch

2. Place filter screen and drain tube into coolant
tank, as shown in Figure 46.

Filter

3. Add coolant (refer to Adding Coolant on
Page 44).

Figure 48. Location of coolant pump switch.

6. Adjust coolant control hose valves to control

flow of coolant (see Figure 47). Make sure
pressure is not so high that coolant spills
on floor and creates slipping hazard. When
bandsaw reaches bottom of cut, motor and
coolant system automatically shut OFF.

Keep chip screen tray clear so coolant can
recycle to pump reservoir. NEVER operate
pump with reservoir below low mark or you
will overheat pump and void warranty!

Operation Tips

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

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

Tips for horizontal cutting:

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

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

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

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

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

• Support long pieces so they won't fall when
cut, and flag the ends to alert passers-by of
potential danger.

• Adjust the blade guides as close as possible
to the 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.

Coolant System

Service

The coolant system consists of a fluid tank, pump,
and hose with valves. The pump pulls fluid from
the tank and sends it to the valves, which control
the flow of coolant. As the fluid leaves the work
area, it drains through the cabinet, where the
swarf and metal chips are screened out, and back
into the tank.

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 tank 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. Therefore, we recom­mend always cleaning the coolant tank whenever
changing the coolant.

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 fluid on a
monthly basis, or as indicated by the fluid manu­facturer.

Preparing Machine for Storage

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal

surfaces, then coat them with light weight
grease or rust preventative. Take care to
ensure these surfaces are completely cov­ered but that grease or rust preventative is
kept off of painted surfaces.

If machine will be out of service for only a

short period of time, use quality medium­weight machine oil (not auto engine oil) in
place of grease or rust preventative.

3. Remove old coolant, then add a few drops of
way oil and blow out lines with compressed
air.

— If machine will be out of service for only a

short period of time, start machine once a
week and run all gear-driven components
for a few minutes. This will put fresh coat
of gear oil on gearing components inside
gearbox.

— If it will be out of service for a long period

of time, drain, then completely fill gear­box with recommended gear oil so com­ponents above normal oil level do not
develop rust. (Make sure to put a tag on
controls as a reminder for re-commission­ing process to adjust gear oil level before
starting machine.)

5. Place a few moisture-absorbing desiccant
packs inside of electrical box.

6. Completely cover machine with tarp or plastic
sheet that will keep out dust and resist liquid
or moisture. If machine will be stored in/near
direct sunlight, use a cover that will block the
sun's rays.

blade or have maximum clearance of 0.002".

Note: Since bearings twist blade into posi-

tion, it is acceptable if there is 0.001"-0.002"
gap between blade and front or back of bear­ing. Just make sure not to squeeze blade too
tightly with bearings. After guide bearings
are set, you should be able to rotate guide
bearings (although they will be stiff) with your
fingers.

3. Tighten set screws.

4. Adjust carbide blade guides (see Figure 74)

so they make same contact with blade as
guide bearings.

Squaring Blade to

— If blade is square to table, no further

adjustments need to be made.

Table

This adjustment has been made at the factory
and should not need to be adjusted under normal
circumstances. However, if you find the saw is not
cutting square, you may need to adjust the blade.
Only make this adjustment after ruling out other
potential factors, such as excessive feed rate or
the blade guide being set too far away from the
workpiece.

Tools Needed Qty

To square blade to table:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Lower headstock of bandsaw until it contacts

downfeed stop bolt.

3. Place square on table bed and against edge
of blade (see Figure 75), and check different
points along length of table between blade
guide assemblies.

— If blade is not square to table, loosen

cap screw shown in Figure 76 one to
two turns and repeat on second blade
guide assembly.

— If top of blade tilts away from square,

loosen top two set screws shown in
Figure 76 and tighten bottom two
set screws an equal amount while
keeping an eye on blade squareness
(the amount you tighten and loosen
the screws depends on how far from
square the blade is). Repeat for sec­ond blade guide assembly.

— If bottom of blade tilts away from

square, tighten top two set screws
shown in Figure 76 an equal amount
and loosen bottom two set screws
while keeping an eye on blade
squareness (the amount you tighten
and loosen screws depends on how
far from square blade is). Repeat for
second blade guide assembly.

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 [phone].
