WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR BAND SAW UNTIL mT

tS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED
ACCORDBNG TO THE INSTRUCTIONS , .. AND UNTSL
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE

FOLLOWING:

PAG E

1. General Safety Instructions for Power Tools ...... 2

2. Getting To Know Your Band Saw/Sander ........ 18

3. Basic Band Saw Operation .................... 21

4. Maintenance ............................... 22

5. Stability of Machine

Your band saw must be bolted securely to a stand or

work bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the

band saw to tip over or move during certain operations

such as cutting long heavy boards, bolt your bandsaw to
the floor.

6. Location
The band saw should be positioned so neither the opera-

tor nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with
the blade. This band saw is intended for indoor use only.

7. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body

a. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 and

a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or
muffs during extended periods of operation. Do not

wear gloves.., roll long sleeves above the elbow.

b. Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by

hand.

c. Avoid awkv_ard hand positions where a sudden slip

could cause a hand to move into the blade or the
sanding belt.

d. Never turn your band saw "ON" before clearing the

table of all Objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
except for the workpiece and related feed or support
devices for the operation planned.

e. Make sure the blade runs downward toward the table

in the right direction. Always adjust tracking wheel
correctly so that the blade does not run off the

wheels.

f. Always adjust tension correctly for the blade or

sanding belt being used...

g. Always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard

to just clear the workpiece to protect the operator,

to keep blade breakage to a minimum, and to provide

maximum support for blade.

i. Hold the work firmly against the table. DO NOT

FREEHAND

Do not feed the material too fast while cutting,
Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade
wiil cut, Keep fingers away from the blade,

k.

Use caution when cutting off material which is

irregular in cross section which could pinch the

blade before the cut is completed. A piece of

molding for example must lay fiat on the table and
not be permitted to rock while being cut.

Use caution when cutting off round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll
while being cut causing the blade to "bite". Always
use a "V" block, or clamp round material to a miter
gauge.

m.

When backing up the workpiece, the blade may
bind in the kerf (cut} . . . this is usually caused by

sawdust clogging up the kerf or because the blade
comes out of the guides. If this happens:

1. Turn off the band saw . . . remove plug from
povver source outlet . . . remove cover from

band saw. Insert a screwdriver or wedge in the
kerf . . . rotate the wheels by hand while

backing up the workpiece.

n.

Never leave the band saw work area with the power
on, before the machine has come to a complete
stop, or without removing and storing the switch

key.

o.

Never operate the band saw with frame cover or
with protective cover on the unused shaft end of

the motor removed.

p,

Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on
the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

q.

Turn saw "OFF" and remove plug from power
before installing or removing an accessory or

attachment.

8. Should any part of this band saw be missing, or bend, or
fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to

perform properly, shut off power switch, and remove
power supply cord from power supply. Replace

damaged, missing, and/or failed parts before resuming
operation.

g. Think Safety.

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness whenever the band saw/sander is n operation.

basic band saw/sander operation

BASIC BAND SAW/SANDER OPERATION

A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It is no_
capable of doing inside cutting.

Your Craftsman Band Saw/Sander is no_ only capable of
the usual band saw operations, out it can he converted into
a sander as well. You can finish wood, certain compositions
and plastics and non-ferrous metals.

It is also used for stra ght-line cutting operations such as
crosscutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting,

and resawing.

SAWING
WARNING: ADJUST THE UPPER GUIDES TO CLEAR

THE WORKPIECE.

1. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle
pressure, and do not force the work, but allow the blade

to cut.

2. The smallest diameter that can be cut out is determined
by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4" wide

blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately
1-1/2". CSee Chart)

SANDING

The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice with some
scraps of wood first before you attempt to sand your
actual workpiece.

1. Press the workpiece gently against the sanding belt,
and keep moving it until the edge is smooth.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Pitch and sawdust that accumulate on the tires should be
removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of wood.

Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.

When the tires become worn they should be replaced. When

replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels butdo not

glue them onto the wheels.
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, the insert, the

guides or the thrust bearings. Clean them with Craftsman
Gum and Pitch Remover. CAUTION: Do not immerse the

thrust bearings.
Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax on the table so that

the wood slides easily while cutting.
