8.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment near the power source. If an
extension cord becomes necessary, make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on
the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Use Table 1 as a general guide in choosing the
correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

Extension Cord Recommendations
Table 1
9.0 Adjustments
The settings on your band saw, such as blade
squareness and tracking, were carefully performed
by the manufacturer. You should, however, verify
these before operating, in case misalignment has
occurred during shipping.
9.1 Squaring blade to table
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place machinist’s square (A, Figure 13) on
table and against blade.
3. Check to see that blade contacts the square
along entire width of blade.
4. If adjustment is needed, loosen screws (B,
Figure 13) and rotate blade guide assemblies
until blade makes contact with square along its
entire width.
5. Tighten screws (B).
NOTE: If adjustment of squaring blade to table was
necessary, re-verify all other blade adjustments.
Figure 13
9.2 Squaring blade to vise
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a machinist’s square (A, Figure 14) on
the bed against the blade and the fixed vise
jaw. The square should lie along entire length
of jaw and blade without a gap.
3. If adjustment is necessary, loosen screws
holding vise (C, Figure 14) and shift vise until it
aligns with square.
4. Retighten screws.
