SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL REQUIRES THE
INSTALLATION OF A 220V PLUG (NOT INCLUDED),
AND MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO
PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not
included). The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not t the electrical
receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed
by a qualied electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded when installing or replacing a plug.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 220
volt electrical receptacle. FIGURE 1 shows the type of the
220V, 4-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that
has a grounding conductor that is required.

EXTENSION CORDS
USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD
WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. FOR
BEST POWER AND SAFETY, PLUG THE MACHINE
DIRECTLY INTO A DEDICATED GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET THAT IS WITHIN THE SUPPLIED CORD
LENGTH OF THE MACHINE.
IF AN EXTENSION CORD NEEDS TO BE USED, IT
SHOULD ONLY BE FOR LIMITED OPERATION OF THE
MACHINE. THE EXTENSION CORD SHOULD BE AS
SHORT AS POSSIBLE IN LENGTH, AND HAVE A
MINIMUM GAUGE SIZE OF 14AWG.
USE ONLY A 4-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
THE PROPER TYPE OF A 4-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE'S 4-PRONG
PLUG AND ALSO THE 4-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT
ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG. *

use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool
with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious
injury.
Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Keep the extension cord clear
of the working area. Position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to
be certied SJT type or better.

The bandsaw is heavy - over 300
lbs! It is best to assemble the machine near the
area where it will eventually reside.
When moving or positioning an assembled
bandsaw, DO NOT use the table or upper blade
guard assemblies as this may damage the
machine. Move the bandsaw by grasping the
support column and lower frame which are all
welded together for rigidity. The bandsaw can
also be moved by laying it down on the back/left
side of the column so that the table assembly is
not compromised.
J
L
K
2. Position the machine on a solid, level foundation
that is located in an area that has ample space in
front, right side and in back of the bandsaw for cutting
large or long material.
For best power and safety, the bandsaw should be
plugged directly into a dedicated grounded electrical
outlet that is within the supplied cord length of
the machine. The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
3. Align the machine so that during use, the material
being cut will not face aisles, doorways, or other work
areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use
the machine in damp or wet conditions.
1. Carefully remove the machine from the shipping
carton. See above instructions on handling the saw.
4. Once in place in your shop, level the machine with
spacers, and secure it to the floor with lag screws

table to 45 degrees and install the two bolts to the left
of the blade. Fig. 3. DO NOT fully tighten the bolts at
this time. Return the table to the horizontal position.
NOTE: Before nally secured in position, the table can
be slightly moved, left and right. Check to make sure
that the table’s miter gauge slot is parallel to the side
of the saw blade. This will provide a true cut when
ripping stock. Set a thin metal ruler against the side
of the saw blade. Make sure that it is not touching
the saw’s teeth, which can angle the ruler. Measure
the distance from one end of the ruler to the miter
gauge slot. FIG. 4. Then measure the same distance
from the other end of the ruler to the miter gauge slot.
Compare these two measurements and angle the
table as necessary until the distances are the same.
