FASTENING BAND SAW
TO SUPPORTING SURFACE
ifduring operation there is any tendency for the machine to
tip over, slide, or walk on the supporting surface, the
machine must be secured to the supporting surface. Four
holes (A) Fig, 10, are provided inthe band saw base for this
purpose.

CONNECTING BAND SAW TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire
and should be protected with a 20 Amp fuse. Have a certified electrician replace or repair a worn cord
immediately. Before connecting the motorto a power line, make sure the switch isinthe"OFF" position
and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE TOOL IN DAMP
LOCATIONS.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your band saw iswired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the band saw
to the power source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pote receptacle which will accept
the tools plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Fig. 10A, shows the correct gage to use depending on cord length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage, The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
