LUBRICATION
CUTTING CURVES
• When cutting curves, carefully turn the workpiece so the blade follows without twisting. If the curve is so sharp that
you repeatedly back up and cut new kerf, use a narrower blade, or a blade with more set (teeth further apart).
When a blade has more set, the workpiece turns easier but the cut is rougher.
• When changing a cut, do not withdraw the workpiece from the blade. The blade may get drawn off the wheels.
• To change a cut, turn the workpiece and cut your way out through the waste material area.
• When cutting long curves, make relief cuts as you go along.
CUTTING CIRCLES
1. Adjust the blade guard assembly to 1/8" above the
workpiece.
2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle
pressure. Do not force the work. Allow the blade to cut.
3. The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is deter-
mined by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4"
wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approxi-
mately 1-1/2" .

BLADE WIDTH
Keep blade tension screw , shafts and joints , as well as the rack and pinion greased and free of dust or
debris. Clean and remove dust, debris, and old grease after every 10-15 hours of use. After cleaning, reapply
grease as needed. (Use any all purpose grease.)
The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is required. No other
part of this bandsaw needs lubrication.
Note: Open the upper door to
access the blade tension screw
Disconnect machine from power source, before performing any lubrication or maintenance.
