5.7 Vertical cutting plate
NOTE: The following steps apply only when using
band saw in vertical mode.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Raise bow to vertical position.
3. Loosen bolt (S, Figure 5-6) just enough to slide
stand (D) behind bolt. Tighten bolt just enough
to hold stand in position.
4. Remove two flat head screws (T) and bearing
guard (U). [Note: Bearing guard (U) must be
reinstalled when returning to horizontal mode.]
5. Guide blade through slot in vertical cutting plate
(C, Figure 7) and fasten cutting plate with the
two screws.
6. Fasten stand (D) to underside of table using
screw and hex nut (HP6/7). Stand can be bent
slightly to accommodate plate.
7. Tighten bolt (S).

6.0 Electrical connections
The HVBS-56V Band Saw is rated for 115V power
only. The band saw comes with a plug designed for
use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like
the one pictured in A, Figure 6-1.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the band saw be connected
to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
6-1. An adapter, shown in B, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. Note: In Canada, the
use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
