Use and Care Manual

The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spir-
its or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safe-
ty recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s paint-
ed surfaces, as many solvent-based products will
remo-ve paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protec-
tant or rust inhibitor.
CLEAN UP
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slot to remove the grease.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
ESTABLISHING A SAFET
Y ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it
is advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop
machi-nery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor
around each machine can help avoid accidents that
could cause injury to either the operator or the shop
visitor. It is advi-sable to take a few moments to either
paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the
floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety
zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop
visitors are aware that these areas are off limits when-
ever a machine is running for everyone but the indivi-
dual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only
on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support
the weight of the bandsaw 440 lbs (200 kg) and the
operator. Using the dimensions shown as a guideline,
plan for placement within your shop that will allow the
operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by
foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop
workers) or other tools or machinery.
