UNPACKING

Step 1. Snip the carton wrapping belt near the wooden pallet, pull the nails from the

carton and pallet, then the carton can be taken away.

Step 2. The band saw can be removed from the pallet by removing the bolts and

connecting parts (1 & 4 of Fig. A). Remove the bolt and connecting parts of the locking
device (3 of Fig. A), then the saw arch can be raised.

ASSEMBLY
Step 1. Assemble the front & rear wheels (5 & 6 of Fig. B).
Step 2. By removing the locking device (3 of Fig. A), the saw arch could be raised. The

saw arch will stay in position if the hydraulic valve (A & B of Fig. B) is “Off”. The saw
arch cannot be pressed down by using external force. You must put the hydraulic valve
(A of Fig. B) in “On” position and then switch the flow control (B of Fig. B) to lower the
saw arch. The speed of the saw arch going down depends on the range you choose for
the flow control valve (B of Fig. B).

Note: The hydraulic valve (A of Fig. B) is “Off” when its handle is in horizontal direction,

and “On” when its handle is vertical.

11. Always wear eye protection, Refer to A.N.S.I Z87.1 Standard for appropriate recommendations.
Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

12. Always secure work with clamps or a vise. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands

to operate tool.

13. Don’t overreach - keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters,
etc.

16. Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.

17. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure Switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord.

18. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted.

19. Check damaged parts before further use of the tool. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced.

20. Note direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.

21. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.

22. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

23. Make sure tool is disconnected from power supply while motor is being mounted, connected or
reconnected.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR HORIZONTAL BAND SAWS

1. Adjust and position the blade guide arm before starting cut.

2. Keep blade guide arm tight. A loose blade guide arm will affect sawing accuracy.

3. Make sure that blade tension and blade tracking are properly adjusted.

4. Re-check blade tension after initial cut with a new blade.

5. To prolong blade life, always release blade tension at the end of each workday.

6. Make sure blade speed is set correctly for material being cut.

7. Check for proper blade size and type based on the material being cut.

8. Stop the machine before putting material in the vise and clamping it well.

9. Always have stock firmly clamped in vise before starting to cut.

10. Always keep hands and fingers away from the blade.

11. Check coolant daily: Low coolant level can cause foaming and high blade temperatures. Dirty or
weak coolant can clog pump, cause crooked cut, low cutting rate and permanent blade failure. Dirty
coolant can cause the growth of bacteria with ensuing skin irritation.

12. When cutting magnesium never use soluble oils or emulsions (oil-water mix) as water will greatly
intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant supplier for specific coolant
recommendations when cutting magnesium.

13. To prevent corrosion of machine surface when a soluble oil is used as coolant, pay particular
attention to wiping dry the surfaces where fluid accumulates and does not evaporate quickly, such
as between the machine bed and vise.

14. Stop the machine before removing chips.

15. Make all adjustments with the power off.

16. Disconnect machine from power source when making repairs.
