3. The plug on the end of the motor cord must
be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated
for 230V.

Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment near the power source. If an
extension cord becomes necessary, make sure
the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the machine’s motor plate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use Table 1 as a general guide in choosing the
correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Adjustments
The settings on your band saw, such as blade
squareness and tracking, were carefully
performed by the manufacturer. You should,
however, verify these before operating, in case
misalignment has occurred during shipping.
9.1
Squaring blade to table
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place machinist’s square (A, Figure 13) on
table and against blade.
3. Check to see that blade contacts the square
along entire width of blade.
4. If adjustment is needed, loosen screws (B,
Figure 13) and rotate blade guide
assemblies until blade makes contact with
square along its entire width.
5. Tighten screws (B).
NOTE: If adjustment of squaring blade to table
was necessary, re-verify all other blade
adjustments.
Figure 13
9.2
Squaring blade to vise
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a machinist’s square (A, Figure 14) on
the bed against the blade and the fixed vise
jaw. The square should lie along entire
length of jaw and blade without a gap.
3. If adjustment is necessary, loosen screws
holding vise (C, Figure 14) and shift vise
until it aligns with square.
4. Retighten
screws.
