To help ensure safe operation, take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as po-
tential hazards. CWI Woodworking Technologies disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless
for any injury that may result from improper use of its equipment.
Rules for Safe Operation
15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not
have a at surface. Always hold stock rmly against table.
16. Do not cut long stock without adequate outfeed support.
17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions.
Do not overreach while cutting, and keep both feet on the
oor.
18. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard
must be removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is
properly reattached before using the saw again.
19. Never leave the machine running when not in use.
20. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by
CWI may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.
21. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result
if the tool is tipped over or if the blade is unintentionally
contacted.
22. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or
changing accessories such as blades, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjustments, or if the
machine will be left unattended.
23. Make sure that switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the power cord.
24. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped
with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole
receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
25. Do not use this saw for other than its intended use. If
used for other purposes, CWI disclaims any real implied
warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which
may result from that use.
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under
the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs
reexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean, and free of
debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the
saw is in operation; do not permit them to operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys,
to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be
hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and
whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear
and respiratory protection.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck-
laces, or other jewelry while the saw is in operation.
8. Be sure that tools, scrap, drinks and other clutter are
removed from the table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands away from the blade and all moving parts.
Use a brush, not your hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10. Adjust and position upper and lower blade guides
before cutting. Upper guard should be 1/8” above material
to be cut.
11. Adjust blade tension and tracking before cutting.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty
or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
13. Ensure blade has reached full speed before cutting.
14. Bandsaw blade teeth must point down toward table.

BEFORE CONNECTING THIS SAW TO THE POWER SUPPLY, VERIFY THAT THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE MATCHES THAT OF
THE MOTOR. INCORRECT SUPPLY VOLTAGE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AND DAMAGE TO THE MA-
CHINE. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE SUPPLY OR EQUIPMENT VOLTAGE, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE SAW. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS SAW TO RAIN OR USE IT IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
Electrical Requirements
If you are unsure about whether or not your receptacle
is grounded, check with a qualied electrician or service
person.
Circuit Capacity
Make sure that the circuit used to power your saw is
properly sized to handle the saw and any other equipment that is powered by the circuit. If the circuit breaker
trips regularly, equipment connected to the circuit is
drawing more amperage than the breaker can handle.
Move some equipment to another circuit or have a
licensed electrician install a higher capacity circuit. If the
circuit is not overloaded and the breaker continues to
trip when the saw is used, there may be a fault with the
saw’s motor. Contact a licensed electrician or CWI.
Converting the Saw to 240V
The motor is pre-wired for use with a 120VAC power
supply. The saw can be converted for use with 240V
single phase, but it is recommended that a qualied
electrician perform this conversion. Follow the wiring
diagram below to change the motor to 240V. It is also
recommended to change the saw’s plug to a NEMA
6-15P type plug to prevent accidental usage on a 120V
circuit.

Grounding Instructions
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of this machine is wired for 120V and
is equipped with a 3-conductor cord (A) and a 3-prong
grounded plug (B) to t a matching grounding type receptacle (C).
Extension Cords
If you need to use an extension cord to power the saw,
always use a 3-prong extension cord with grounding pin
and a matching 3-prong receptacle. Repair or replace
a damaged extension cord or plug immediately. Make
sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed
on the motor ID plate. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of saw
power and dangerous overheating of the extension
cord. The table below shows the recommended minimum wire size for extension cord usage. The smaller
the number, the heavier the gauge.

This saw has been designed for cutting solid wood as well as manufactured wood materials such as plywood, wood
panelling, particleboard, MDF, and other wood based products. This saw is not designed for cutting metals or any
other non-wood product.
This saw is designed for use with bandsaw blades having a width from 1/8” to 3/4”, and a length of 112”. With the
ceramic blade guides raised to their highest position and the table set at 90º, the maximum resaw capacity is 12”. The
work table can be tilted 5° to the left, and 45° to the right.
Pay close attention to the saw’s balance when lifting it; the saw is very heavy and could topple causing injury or machine damage. Use a forklift to lift the saw and ensure another person helps guide the machine into place. Once set,
the saw can be levelled and mounted to the oor or machine mounts for safety and stability.

Initial Cleaning
The cast iron table is covered with a special protective coating to prevent rusting during shipping. Remove this coating using a rag and solvent (mineral
spirits or paint thinner). Most of the coating can be
carefully scraped o with a putty knife before solvent
cleaning. Take care not to scratch the table when
scraping.
Bandsaw Assembly
Do not apply solvent to painted metal or plastic surfaces as this could damage these surfaces. Once
the protective coating has been removed, a surface
protector such as paste wax should be applied to the
table for additional protection and to reduce friction
between the workpiece and table during operation.
Use a screwdriver and solvent soaked rag to clean
the coating out from the miter slots.
Mounting the Table
When the bandsaw table is installed, the trunnions on
the underside of the table (A) rest in the saw frame’s
trunnion supports (B), and the left side of the table rests
on the table tilt stop bolt (C).
