BASIC OPERATION
POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This tool is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz,
single phase alternating current (AC) power source fused with a 15 amp
time delayed circuit breaker. It is recommended that a qualified electrician
verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into which the tool will be
plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly grounded. The use of
the proper circuit size can eliminate nuisance circuit breaker tripping when
using your tool.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL if the ACTUAL power
source voltage is less than 105 volts AC or greater than 132 volts
AC. Contact a qualified technician if this problem exists. Improper
performance, and/or, damage to the tool will result if operated on
inadequate, or excessive power.
CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE
Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of receptacle at the
source of power. This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Make sure the tool is
turned OFF when connecting the power cord to a properly grounded 120
Volts, 60 Hz, single phase, 15 amp power source.
ON-OFF SWITCH
1. To turn the saw ON, move the switch (H, fig 1) to the (ON) position.
2. To turn the saw OFF, move the switch to the (OFF) position.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, wait until the saw has come to
a complete stop and remove the safety key (I, fig 1) from the switch
housing. Store the safety key in a safe place.
4. To unlock the switch and turn the saw ON, insert the safety key into the
switch, and move the switch to the ON position.
USING YOUR SAW
GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Operating a band saw involves a certain amount of hazard.
Read the instructions and plan your work before cutting a work piece.
1. Use scrap lumber to check the settings and to get the feel of operating
the band saw before attempting regular work.
2. Do not turn the power on before all adjustments have been made.
Check to make sure the upper guard is in place. Always keep the upper
blade guard close to your work, approximately 1/8” (3.2 mm) above the
work piece.
