SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS WARNING ICONS Your power tool and its Instruction Manual may contain “WARNING ICONS” (a picture symbol intended to alert you to and/or instruct you how to avoid a potentially hazardous condition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will help you operate your tool better and safer. Shown below are some of the symbols you may see. SAFETY ALERT: Precautions that involve your safety.
POWER TOOL SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool. 9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in. 21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 22. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Instruction Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to yourself or others.
BAND SAW SAFETY 1. TO AVOID INJURY from unexpected movement, make sure the saw is on a firm, level surface and properly secured to prevent rocking. Make sure there is adequate space for operating. Bolt the saw to a support surface to prevent slipping, walking or sliding during operation. 13. SUPPORT round work properly (with a V-block or clamped to the miter gauge) to prevent it from rolling and the blade from biting. 14. CUT only one workpiece at a time.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT AND SAFETY POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #16 wire and should be protected with a 10 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY Supplied 2 mm hex wrench CARTON CONTENTS UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Carefully unpack the band saw and all its parts, and compare against the list below and the illustration on the next page. With the help of an assistant place the saw on a secure surface and examine it carefully. Not Supplied Phillips screwdriver ! WARNING To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the power cord into a source of power during unpacking and assembly.

NOTE: To avoid lifting the workpiece, the blade teeth must point downward toward the table. 4. Place the blade (8) on the upper and lower wheels (11). 5.
INSTALLING A NEW BELT (FIG. F) 1. Open the lower wheel cover. 2. Loosen the blade tension by turning the blade tension knob. 3. Remove the blade from the lower wheel assembly. 4. Using a snap ring pliers, remove snap ring (1) that secures lower wheel (2) to shaft (3) and flange (4) on the lower blade wheel. 5. Loosen the belt tension by loosen the hex screw on the motor with a 6 mm hex wrench. See "DRIVE BELT TENSION" on page 18. 6. Slide lower wheel assembly off the shaft (3) which will dislodge the belt.
BLADE TENSION (FIG. H) The blade must be slightly tensioned before adjusting blade tracking. Make sure blade guides and bearings do not interfere with blade. ! WARNING ● To avoid injury, turn the switch OFF and disconnect the saw from the power source before making any adjustments. NEVER make tension adjustments with the machine running. ● Blade tension was set at the factory. When adjustment is needed please follow the procedure below. 1. Open upper and lower doors.
UPPER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING (FIG. J, K) 6. Loosen the side hex screw (4) by turning counterclockwise with a 4 mm hex wrench supplied. 7.

Blade guides 1. Loosen two front hex socket screws (1) with a hex wrench. 2. Move the guide pins (2) as close to the sides of the blade (3) as possible without pinching it. 3. Using the feeler gauge, measure the spaces between the guide pins and the blade. Adjust to 0.002 in. (0.05 mm). 4. Tighten two front hex socket screws (1). 8. Tighten the support bearing hex screw (6). 9. The back edge of the blade (3) should be positioned 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to 1/8 in. (3.
