This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation, electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety for Metal Bandsaws

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine.

SAFETY

1. SAFETY GUARDS. DO NOT operate bandsaw without wheel covers, pulley covers, or blade guards in

place.

2. SERVICE PREPARATION. Turn OFF and unplug machine before blade replacement, machine adjust-

ments, and maintenance are done. Allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop before doing any of the above.

3. SAFETY TOOLS. Use push sticks or other safety devises whenever possible, especially when the

bandsaw is set up for vertical cutting.

4. KEEPING HANDS CLEAR. Never reach under table, in the blade path, or around the blade guides

while blade is in motion.

Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed.

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

5. FURTHER INFORMATION. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended

operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our technical support department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

6. SHOP SAFETY. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety

will become second-nature to you.

7. WORKPIECE REMOVAL. Never back the workpiece from the blade when the bandsaw is set up for

vertical cutting and while the bandsaw blade is in motion. Turn OFF machine and wait for blade to come to a complete stop before backing workpiece out.

8. MANUAL INSPECTIONS. Unplug the machine and manually test blade tracking and tension before

starting the machine. Blades that are loose or not tracking correctly can come off and cause serious personal injury.

9. SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES. Long workpieces should be well supported at both ends with

extension tables when cuts are made. Otherwise, after a cut is made, the cut piece may fall to the floor and the stock may tilt out of the vise and break the blade.

10. SAFELY USING CUTTING FLUIDS. Make sure you know what type of metal and cutting fluid you will

be exposed to and how to avoid contamination. Be aware that certain metal shavings and cutting fluids may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially when cutting fumes can be inhaled.

This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.

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 fullload 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 is prewired to operate on a 110V power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

This machine can be converted to operate on a 220V power supply (details about voltage conversion can be found later in this manual). The 220V power supply circuit must have a verified ground and meet the requirements that follow:

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.

Machine Placement

• Floor Load: This machine distributes a

heavy load in a small footprint. Some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator.

• Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your Machine Type.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough

to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be

dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets must be located near each machine, so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic

SET UP

areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your bandsaw are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorinebased solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. Most have low flash points, which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored!

USE helpers or power lifting equipment to lift this Machine Name. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur.

MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. NEVER allow untrained visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.

ALWAYS work in wellventilated areas far from possible ignition sources when using solvents to clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they DO NOT create fire or environmental hazards.

Handle, Wheels, and Feet

GET assistance when lifting this machine. Otherwise, you can severely injure yourself!

To install the handle, wheels, and feet, do these steps:

1. With the help of an assistant, support the bandsaw

on wooden blocks approximately 4" from the ground so you have room to install the handle, wheels, and feet.

2. Align the handle mounting holes with the bandsaw

holes, and install the 5/16"-18 x 1-1/4" hex bolts,

washers, and nuts (see Figure 10).

3. Insert the axle into the cabinet, and slide the wheels

onto the axles.

4. Slide the two 5/8" flat washers onto the axles, and install the two cotter pins (see Figure 11).

5. Thread one 3/8"-18 hex nut and install one 3/8" washer onto each threaded foot shaft (see Figure 12).

6. Thread the foot shafts into the underside of the bandsaw cabinet (see Figure 12).

7. With the help of an assistant, remove the bandsaw from the blocks.
