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
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 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.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

Additional Safety for Bandsaws
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during
operation or if blade breakage occurs. To reduce this risk, anyone operating this machine MUST
completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
SAFETY
HAND PLACEMENT. Placing hands or fingers in
line with blade during operation may result
in serious injury if hands slip or workpiece
moves unexpectedly. Do not position fingers
or hands in line with blade, and never reach
under table while blade is moving.
SMALL/NARROW WORKPIECES. If hands slip
during a cut while holding small workpieces
with fingers, serious personal injury could
occur. Always support/feed small or narrow
workpieces with push sticks, push blocks,
jig, vise, or some type of clamping fixture.
BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade
is at full speed could cause blade to grab
workpiece and pull hands into blade. Allow
blade to reach full speed before starting
cut. DO NOT start machine with workpiece
contacting blade.
FEED RATE. To avoid risk of workpiece slipping
and causing operator injury, always feed
stock evenly and smoothly.
BLADE CONDITION. Dull blades require more
effort to perform cut, increasing risk of
accidents. Do not operate with dirty, dull,
cracked or badly worn blades. Inspect blades
for cracks and missing teeth before each
use. Always maintain proper blade tension
and tracking while operating.
CLEARING JAMS AND CUTOFFS. Always stop
bandsaw and disconnect power before
clearing scrap pieces that get stuck between
blade and table insert. Use brush or push
stick, not hands, to clean chips/cutoff scraps
from table.
GUARDS/COVERS. Blade guards and covers
protect operator from the moving bandsaw
blade. The wheel covers protect operator
from getting entangled with rotating wheels
or other moving parts. ONLY operate this
bandsaw with blade guard in proper position
and wheel covers completely closed.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that
could result in operator injury, make sure
blade teeth face down toward table and
blade is properly tensioned and tracked
before operating.
UPPER BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT. To reduce
exposure of operator to blade and provide
maximum blade support while cutting, keep
upper blade guides adjusted to just clear
workpiece.
CUTTING TECHNIQUES. To avoid blade getting
pulled off wheels or accidentally breaking
and striking operator, always turn bandsaw
OFF and wait for blade to come to a
complete stop before backing workpiece out
of blade. DO NOT back workpiece away from
blade while bandsaw is running. DO NOT
force or twist blade while cutting, especially
when sawing small curves. This could result
in blade damage or breakage.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To maintain maximum
control and reduce risk of blade contact/
breakage, always ensure adequate support
of long/large workpieces. Always keep
workpiece flat and firm against table/fence
when cutting to avoid loss of control. If
necessary, use a jig or other work-holding
device.
BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due
to blade contact, always allow blade to stop
on its own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade
with your hand or the workpiece.
WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is
intended for cutting natural and man-made
wood products, and laminate covered wood
products. This machine is NOT designed to
cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.

products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled.
Minimize your risk
by only using these
products in a well
ventilated area.
SETUP
Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of
cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.
. Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
Tip: An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust
preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC
paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the
coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do
not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your
machine.)
. Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the
compound is removed.
. To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,
In a pinch, automotive degreasers,
mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used
to remove rust preventative coating.
Before using these products, though,
test them on an inconspicuous area of
your paint to make sure they will not
damage it.

Weight Load
Refer to the
weight of your machine. Make sure that the
surface upon which the machine is placed will
bear the weight of the machine, additional
equipment that may be installed on the
machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will
be used. Additionally, consider the weight of
the operator and any dynamic loading that may
occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that
will be processed through this machine and
provide enough space around the machine
for adequate operator material handling or
the installation of auxiliary equipment. With
permanent installations, leave enough space
around the machine to open or remove doors/
covers as required by the maintenance and
service described in this manual.

Anchoring to Floor
Number of Mounting Holes ....................................4
Diameter of Mounting Hardware ..........................
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or
shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during
operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly quieter
and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may require
that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the machine
to the floor is an optional step. If you choose not to do
this with your machine, we recommend placing it on
machine mounts, as these provide an easy method for
leveling and they have vibration-absorbing pads.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see Figure 18) are
a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor,
because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface,
making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later, if
needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you MUST
follow the anchoring methodology specified by the code.
