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.

risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,

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 or wheel covers 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.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the

serious personal injury may occur.

Model G0926 (Mfd. Since 11/20)

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.)

always disable machine unattended. Make sure to place key in a well-hidden or secure location!

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

Tips for cutting:

• Use the 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 the 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 (refer to the Metal Chip Inspection Chart on Page 26).

• Burned chips indicate a need to reduce 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 blade guides as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.

Model G0926 (Mfd. Since 11/20)

Inspecting

Workpieces

Some metal workpieces are not safe to cut with a metal cutting bandsaw; instead, a different tool or machine should be used.

Selecting Blades

Selecting the right blade for the cut requires a knowledge of various blade characteristics.

Blade Terminology

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

• 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 cannot 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 hardness 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 gasses 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.

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 23, and read across to find workpiece thickness you need to cut.

3. 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.

The "Cutting Speed Rate Recommendation"

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 26). 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 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 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 warrant y.

Use the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 26 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:

Choose correct speed for blade and material

type.

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

•

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.

3. To avoid twisting blade when cutting, adjust feed pressure when total width of blade is in cut.

Replacing

Motor Brushes

This machine is equipped with a universal motor that uses two carbon brushes to transmit electrical current inside the motor.

These brushes are considered to be regular "wear items" or "consumables" that will need to be replaced during the life of the motor. The frequency of required replacement is related to how much the motor is used and how hard it is pushed.

Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time when the motor no longer reaches full power, or when the brushes measure less than (new brushes are
