M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw
APPROVED OPERATION. Untrained operators
can be seriously hurt by machinery. Only
allow trained or properly supervised people
to use machine. When machine is not being
used, disconnect power, remove switch keys,
or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
ONLY USE AS INTENDED. Only use machine for
its intended purpose. Never modify or alter
machine for a purpose not intended by the
manufacturer or serious injury may result!
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase the risk of serious
injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Stop using machine if children or
bystanders become a distraction.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc.
in or on machine—especially near moving
parts. Verify removal before starting!
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use
clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured
workpiece protects hands and frees both of
them to operate the machine.
FEED DIRECTION. Unless otherwise noted, feed
work against the rotation of blades or cutters.
Feeding in the same direction of rotation may
pull your hand into the cut.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers can
protect you from accidental contact with
moving parts or flying debris. Make sure
they are properly installed, undamaged, and
working correctly before using machine.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operations greatly increases the risk of injury
and loss of control. Verify machines are
stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are
locked before starting.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave machine
running while unattended. Turn machine off
and ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. An
improperly maintained machine may increase
the risk of serious injury.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for damaged parts, loose bolts,
mis-adjusted or mis-aligned parts, binding,
or any other conditions that may affect safe
operation. Always repair or replace damaged
parts, wires, cords, or plugs 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. Do not
handle the cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid
cord damage by keeping it away from heated
surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals,
and wet or damp locations.

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 WORKPIECECS. 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.
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do later in
this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only a qualified electrician or service
personnel should do any required
electrical work for this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipmentgrounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.

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.
