WARNING!
Always wear ANSI-approved safety
impact eye goggles when operating the Band Saw.
1.
Do not plug the power cord into an
electrical outlet until all necessary
adjustments (as previously discussed
in this manual) have been made.
2. If needed, convert the Band Saw for horizontal
use as described in ″To Convert the Band
Saw for Horizontal Use″ on page 12.
3. Remove the Locking Pin (116) from the Pivot (121).
4. Raise the Body Frame (62) to its full vertical
position. Turn the Support Plate (154) clockwise
until it firmly locks into the Body Frame and insert
the Locking Pin (158) to lock the Body Frame
in position
(see Figure W on page 18)
.
5. Secure the workpiece in the Vise
assembly (143, 146). When cutting a large
workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly
supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not
included) with a larger workpiece
(see Figure X)

6. If cutting several workpieces at the same
length, you may wish to adjust the Stock
Stop (162) to the desired position.
7. Once all necessary adjustments to the Band Saw
have been made, plug the Power Cord into the
nearest
120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
8. Before cutting, turn on the Band Saw and
check for excessively loose Saw Blade tension
or machine vibration. Turn off the Band Saw
and correct any problems before using.
9. To begin cutting, turn the Power Switch (169)
to its
“ON”
position. Remove the Locking Pin
and slowly lower the Body Frame until the Saw
Blade (83) is just above the workpiece cut line.
10. Allow the Saw Blade to reach full speed before
feeding the Saw Blade into the workpiece.
WARNING!
Keep hands and fingers
safely away from the cutting area.
11. Slowly lower the Body Frame, while it gradually
feeds the Saw Blade into the workpiece. Do
not force the Band Saw to remove material
faster than it is designed to cut.
12. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the
moving parts of the Band Saw while it is plugged in
and running. Turn off the Band Saw if the workpiece
is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
IMpORTANT:
When in the horizontal cutting mode
only, the Switch Push-Off Tip (45) will automatically turn
the Power Switch to its
“OFF”
position and shut off the
Band Saw Motor when the cut has been completed.
13. Once the cut is made, check to make sure the
Power Switch is in its
“OFF”
position and unplug
the Power Cord from its electrical outlet.
14. Wait until the Saw Blade comes to a complete
stop. Raise the Body Frame to its full vertical
position. Turn the Support Plate clockwise until
it firmly locks into the Body Frame and insert
the Locking Pin (158) to lock Body Frame in
position. Remove the workpiece from the Vise
assembly and scrap material from the Machine
Bed (147) of the Band Saw. Then, slowly lower
the Body Frame to its horizontal position.
15. Clean, lock in the horizontal position by
inserting the Locking Pin into the Pivot
(see
Figure W on page 18)
, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
