SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
General Operating Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ENTANGLEMENT:
Keep hands clear of Blade at all times and do not wear gloves when sawing.
Note: The blade is not tensioned during
shipment to prevent damage. It must be properly
tensioned and tracked before use. See Saw
Blade Tracking and Tensioning on page 11.
1. Types of cut
a. Standard cuts are at 90° angle to the Work Table
Use a push stick to guide the workpiece
through the Saw Blade.
b. Contour cuts are accomplished by guiding
the workpiece free-handed for curve shapes.
When using this guiding method, use both hands
to follow the desired path and keep the workpiece
flat against the Work Table. Stand in front of the
Work Table and use both hands over the part
of the Work Table to the right of the Blade.
c. Bevel cuts are when the Work Table is tilted
and proper work guide methods are used.
Tilt the Work Table, refer to Work Table Tilt
Adjustment on page 9, to correct angle.
2. This Band Saw is designed for cutting hard
and soft woods and most plastics. It is
equipped with a Miter Gauge Scale used to
secure the workpiece at a desired angle to
produce angle cuts. Use the built-in Scale to
adjust the Miter Gauge to the required angle.
3. Turn on Band Saw and allow it to reach to
full speed before beginning to saw.
4. Use push-sticks, or blocks (when required) to
move workpiece through the Blade. Use a smooth,
steady action to feed work through the blade.
5. Make sure the workpiece feeds against
the toothed side of the Blade.
6. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn the Power Switch of the tool off and unplug the tool from its electrical
outlet before performing any procedure in this section.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• blade straightness and teeth sharpness,
• vibration-free operation,
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts,
• damaged electrical wiring, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. Do not allow saw dust to accumulate
on or in Band Saw.
3. Keep the Wheels clean. Debris on Wheels will
cause poor tracking and possible Blade slippage.
4. Keep mechanisms and sliding surfaces
clean and free of debris.
