SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

SAFETY

NOTICE

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage
to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye­glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR AN NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause

permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip
footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work
area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

-6-

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power off and allow all moving parts to come to
a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.

11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.

13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-

heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords
for 220V machinery.

14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is
in OFF position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

SAFETY

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting
wrenches before turning machinery ON.

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured

workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-

tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.

25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and

animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you
will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Additional Safety for Bandsaws

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

SAFETY

1. BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with a dull, cracked, or badly worn blade. Dull blades require
more effort to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use, and replace if necessary.

2. HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious personal injury
could occur.

3. GUARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw without the blade guard in place.

4. BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, make sure the teeth face down, toward the front

of the saw and the blade is properly tensioned before operating.

Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol­lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!

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. WORKPIECE HANDLING. Never hold small workpieces with your fingers when cutting. Always sup-

port/feed the workpiece with a push stick, table support, vise, or some type of clamping fixture.

6. CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your cuts carefully. DO NOT back the workpiece away from the blade
while the saw is running. If you need to back the work out, turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for
the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT twist or put excessive stress on the blade while
backing work away.

7. BLADE SPEED. Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.

8. LEAVING WORK AREA. Never leave a machine running while unattended. Allow the bandsaw to

come to a complete stop before leaving unattended.

9. FEED RATE. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting,
especially when sawing tight curves.

10. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Do all inspections, adjustments, and maintenance with the machine
turned OFF and disconnected from the power source.

11. BLADE CONTROL. Do not attempt to stop or slow the blade with your hand or a workpiece. Allow
the blade to stop on its own.

12. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you experience difficulties performing the intended operation,
stop using the machine and contact our Technical Support Department at [phone].

ELECTRICAL

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 so in the "Test
Run" portion of this manual.

220V Operation

The Model M1113 operates on 220V single-phase power.
We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated
circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit size given
below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electrician to
ensure compliance with wiring codes. This machine must
be connected to a grounded circuit!

A plug is not supplied with this machine. See below for
the recommended plug type for this machine.

If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area
or you plan to connect your machine to a shared cir­cuit, you may create a fire or circuit overload hazard—
consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

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, operator,
and material to be processed.

• 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 bandsaw. Refer to Figure 4.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

• Electrical: Place the machine near a
power source to avoid long runs of power
cords strung across your shop. Refer to the
Electrical section on Page 9 for information
on minimum circuit requirements.

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your
machine type 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 chlo­rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner
or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum­based solvents. 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!

Lifting & Moving

Lifting and moving this bandsaw is most safely done using
a forklift. The upper frame is angled at the lifting area, so
we recommend making a lifting block, as shown in Figure
5, to balance the machine when lifting.

If using a forklift is not an option, then the machine can
be moved with a heavy-duty dolly and at least three
strong people. Heavy-duty dollies can be easily purchased
at your local hardware store or rented.

To lift and move the bandsaw with a forklift, do these
steps:

1. Make the lifting block shown in Figure xx to ensure

that the machine remains balanced when lifted and
does not swing.

2. Place the lifting block under the upper frame, as
shown in Figure 6.

3. Either place the forks directly against the lifting

block, or place straps under the lifting block and
around the upper frame.

Note: If you are using lifting straps, you must

remove the blade and upper wheel to avoid damag­ing the machine. The upper wheel is easily removed
by removing the hex nut from the center and sliding
the wheel off.

To lift and move the bandsaw with three strong people
and a dolly, do these steps:

1. Carefully "walk" (pivot the bandsaw in alternating

steps) off of the shipping pallet and onto the shop
floor.

2. Place the dolly under the machine and move it into
place, having two extra people steady the machine
the entire time so that it does not tip over.

and Straps

Figure 6. Lifting machine with a forklift.

This is a heavy machine that cannot
be safely moved alone. Tipping this
machine onto yourself or another per­son will cause serious personal injury.
Use extreme caution when moving this
machine without a forklift and only

get help from strong, capable people.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Mounting to Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mount­ing hardware is not included. Generally, you can either
bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine
mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever
option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precison
level to level your machine.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs
(Figure 7) are two popular methods for anchoring an
object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the
many options and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific application.
Figure 8 shows the mounting locations for this machine.

SETUP

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alter­natives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick
out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if
you decide to move your machine at a later point.

Dust Collection

Recommended CFM at each Dust Port: ......... 400 CFM

Connect this machine to a shop vacuum rather than a
dust collector. Most dust collectors are not designed to
capture metal shavings and doing so may lead to a fire.
If you are in doubt about the capabilities of your shop
vacuum or dust collector, refer the owner's manual before
connecting it to this machine.

This saw creates substantial amounts of fine dust
while operating. Failure to use a vacuum system can
result in respiratory illness.
