ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.
2.
3.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
4.
5.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or
pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Dam-
aged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6.
1.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.
3.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power
tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

4.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5.
6.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2.
3.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be
replaced.
4.
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5.
6.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
7.
8.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
1.
2.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual.

GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facil-
ity before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS:TOOLS WITh ThREE PRONG PLUGS
1.
2.
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

3.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
ThIS PRODUCT
USES A
3-PRONG PLUG
FIGURE A
FIGURE B
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS:TOOLS WITh TWO PRONG PLUGS
1.
2.
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the
preceding illustration. (See Figure B.)
EXTENSION CORDS
1.
2.
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a seri-
ous drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(See Figure C, next page.)
3.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For
example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
(See Figure C.)
4.
5.
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C.)
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate am-
peres and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(See Figure C.)
6.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix
“W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

2.
NOTE: Blade Guide Bearings (133) adjustment is a critical factor in the performance
of the Bandsaw.
It is always best to try a new Saw Blade (127) to see if it will correct poor cutting
before attempting to adjust the Blade Guide Bearings. For example, if a Saw Blade
becomes dull on one side sooner than the other, it will begin cutting crooked. A
Saw Blade replacement will correct this problem, whereas Blade Guide Bearings
adjustment will not.
3.
If a new Saw Blade does not correct the problem, check the Blade Adjustable Seats
(134, 143) to obtain the proper clearance. (See Figure Q, next page.)

4.
NOTE: There should be from .000” (just touching) to .001” clearance between the
Saw Blade and Blade Guide Bearings (133). To obtain this clearance adjust as
follows:
A. The Outer Blade Guide Bearings (133) are mounted to Eccentric Shafts (136)
and can be adjusted. (See Figure Q.)
B. Loosen the Nut (137) while holding the Eccentric Shaft (136) with an Allen
wrench (not included). (See Figure Q.)
C. Position the Eccentric Shaft (136) by turning it to the desired position of clear-
ance. Then, retighten the Nut (137). (See Figure Q.)
D. Adjust the second Blade Guide Bearing (133) in the same manner.

*Screw (140) along with Screw (161) are used to adjust the vertical align-
ment of the Saw Blade (127). This alignment is set at the factory and
will not normally need adjustment. If adjustment is needed, however,
these two Screws (140,161) can be loosened, the Blade Adjusting Seats
(134, 143) brought into perpendicular alignment with theTable (39), and
the Screws retightened.
Adjusting The Blade Tracking:
1.
2.
Raise the Saw Head to its full vertical position, making sure it locks in position by
turning the Hydraulic Cylinder (20) to its “OFF” position. (See Figure O.)
Turn on the Bandsaw. The Saw Blade (127) is tracking properly when the back of
the Blade is just touching the edge of the Wheel (175) flange.
(See Figure R, next page.)
3.
4.
5.
If adjustment is necessary, the Blade Guide Bearings (133) should be clear of the
Saw Blade (124). (See Figure Q.)
Loosen the upper Screw (168) to a point where it is loose but snug.
(See Figure R.)
With the Bandsaw running, turn the Adjusting Screw (168) until the Saw Blade
(127) is tracking properly, making sure Blade tension is maintained by turning the
Blade Tension Knob (181). (See Figure R, next page.)
6.
Make sure to retighten the upper Screw (168) when adjustment is complete.

Adjusting The Blade Tension:
1.
2.
Turn the Blade Tension Knob (181) clockwise to increase tension on the Saw Blade
(127). Turn the Blade Tension Knob counterclockwise to decrease tension on the
Saw Blade. Correct tension is acquired when the Saw Blade is just tight enough so
that no slippage occurs between the Saw Blade and the Wheels (124, 175).
NOTE: When the Bandsaw is not in use over long periods of time, release the ten-
sion on the Saw Blade (127).
Adjusting The Feed Rate:
1.
2.
Excessive feed pressure can break the Saw Blade (127). Insufficient feed pressure
dulls the Saw Blade rapidly.
The Cylinder (20) controls the blade speed during horizontal cutting. The hydraulic
feed control is turned on or off via the small lever on the small cylinder. The speed
is controlled during or right before horizontal cutting.
IMPORTANT: When the cylinder is in the OFF position, the Saw Arm will lock
into the vertical position. Never force the Saw Arm down. If the Saw Arm
descends while the Cylinder is in the OFF position, disconnect the unit from
power and do not use the tool until the hydraulic feed has been repaired.
3.
The Spring (87) may also need to be adjusted to ensure a proper feed rate. Loosen
the Nut (91) on the right one turn. Loosen the nut on the left one turn to decrease
the feed rate or tighten the Nut on the left one turn to increase feed rate. After
adjusting, tighten the Nut on the right securely while holding the left nut still. (See
Figure S.)
