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 Bandsaws
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during
operation or if blade breakage occurs. To reduce this risk, anyone operating this machine
MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
HAND PLACEMENT. Placing hands or fingers
in line with blade during operation may result in
serious injury if hands slip or workpiece moves
unexpectedly. Do not position fingers or hands in
line with blade, and never reach under table while
blade is moving.
SMALL/NARROW WORKPIECES. If hands slip
during a cut while holding small workpieces
with fingers, serious personal injury could occur.
Always support/feed small or narrow workpieces
with push sticks, push blocks, jig, vise, or some
type of clamping fixture.
BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade
is at full speed could cause blade to grab workpiece and pull hands into blade. Allow blade to
reach full speed before starting cut. DO NOT start
machine with workpiece contacting blade.
FEED RATE. To avoid risk of workpiece slipping
and causing operator injury, always feed stock
evenly and smoothly.
BLADE CONDITION. Dull blades require more
effort to perform cut, increasing risk of accidents.
Do not operate with dir ty, dull, cracked or badly
worn blades. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use. Always maintain proper
blade tension and tracking while operating.
CLEARING JAMS AND CUTOFFS. Always stop
bandsaw and disconnect power before clearing
scrap pieces that get stuck between blade and
table insert. Use brush or push stick, not hands,
to clean chips/cutoff scraps from table.
BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due to
blade contact, always allow blade to stop on its
own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade with your
hand or the workpiece.
GUARDS /COVERS. Blade guards and covers
protect operator from the moving bandsaw blade.
The wheel covers protect operator from getting
entangled with rotating wheels or other moving
pa r t s. O N LY operate this bandsaw with blade
guard in proper position and wheel covers completely closed.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that
could result in operator injury, make sure blade
teeth face down toward table and blade is properly tensioned and tracked before operating.
UPPER BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT. To reduce
exposure of operator to blade and provide maximum blade support while cutting, keep upper
blade guides adjusted to just clear workpiece.
CUTTING TECHNIQUES. To avoid blade getting
pulled off wheels or accidentally breaking and
striking operator, always turn bandsaw OFF and
wait for blade to come to a complete stop before
backing workpiece out of blade. DO NOT back
workpiece away from blade while bandsaw is running. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting,
especially when sawing small curves. This could
result in blade damage or breakage.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To maintain maximum
control and reduce risk of blade contact/breakage, always ensure adequate support of long/
large workpieces. Always keep workpiece flat and
firm against table/fence when cutting to avoid loss
of control. If necessary, use a jig or other workholding device.
WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is
intended for cutting natural and man-made wood
products, and laminate covered wood products.
This machine is NOT designed to cut metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc.

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 can be converted to operate on a
power supply circuit that has a verified ground
and meets the requirements listed below. (Refer
to Voltage Conversion instructions for details.)

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.
For 110V operation: This machine is equipped
with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (see following figure). 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.
For 220V operation: The plug specified under
“
page has a grounding prong that must be attached
to the equipment-grounding wire on the included
power cord. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (see following figure) that

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)

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

Dust Collection
This machine creates substantial amounts
of dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust collection system.
Minimum CFM at each Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect dust collection system to machine:
1. Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, and
secure them in place with hose clamps (see
Figure 35).
Figure 35. Dust hoses attached to dust ports.
Note: For best results, connect free ends of
hoses to a 4" Y fitting and secure with hose
clamps, then connect fitting to your dust collection system. See Accessories, beginning
on Page 51, for more information.
2. Tug hoses to make sure they do not come
off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Adjustment
Overview
The bandsaw is one of the most versatile woodworking machines. However, it has multiple components that must be properly adjusted for the
best cutting results.
For practical and safety reasons, some adjustments and test operations must be performed
before performing other necessary adjustments.
Below is an overview of all the adjustments and
the order in which they should be performed:
1. Initial Blade Tracking
2. Test Run
3. Tension Blade
4. Adjusting Blade Support Bearings
5. Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings
6. Table Tilt Calibration
7. Aligning Table
8. Aligning Fence
Bandsaw wheels are either flat or crowned and
both shapes track differently. This bandsaw has
crowned wheels. As the wheels spin, a properly
tracking blade naturally tracks at the center of the
wheel (see Figure 36).
PROPER TRACKING
Blade Centered
on Wheel
Blade
Centered
on Wheel
Figure 36. Blade centered on crown of wheel.
Blade tracking is primarily affected by the tilt of
the upper wheel, known as “center tracking.”
However, the alignment of both wheels plays an
important part as well (see Wheel Alignment on
Page 66 for more details).
Wheel
Initial Blade Tracking
"Tracking" refers to how the blade rides on the
bandsaw wheels. Proper tracking is important
for maintaining bandsaw adjustments, achieving correct blade tension, and cutting accurately. Improper tracking reduces cutting accuracy,
causes excess vibrations, and places stress on
the blade and other bandsaw components. The
shape of the wheels and the orientation of the
wheels in relation to each other determine how
the blade tracks.
The wheels on this bandsaw were aligned at the
factory, so center tracking is the only adjustment
that needs to be checked/performed when the
saw is new.
Serious personal injury can
occur if the machine starts
while your hand is touching the bandsaw wheel during tracking adjustments.
Disconnect power from the
bandsaw before performing
blade tracking adjustments.
