Vertical cutting plate
NOTE: The following steps apply only when using
band saw in vertical mode.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Raise bow to vertical position and use support
(R, Figure 7) to secure in position. (If support
will not slide into recess, vertical stop may need
adjustment. See
sect. 7.12
)
3. Loosen bolt (S, Figure 7) just enough to slide
stand (E) behind bolt. Tighten bolt just enough
to hold stand in position.
4. Remove two flat head screws (T) and bearing
guard (U). [Note: Bearing guard (U) must be
reinstalled when returning to horizontal mode.]
5. Guide blade through slot in vertical cutting plate
(D, Figure 7) and fasten cutting plate with the
two screws.
6. Fasten stand (E) to underside of table using
screw and hex nut (HP6/7). Bracket may need
to be bent slightly to accommodate plate.
7. Tighten bolt (S).

Electrical connections
The HVBS-56 Band Saw is rated at 115/230V
power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The band saw
comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit with
a
grounded outlet
that looks like the one pictured in
A
, Figure 8.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off
position.
It is recommended that the band saw be connected
to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time delay fuse marked “D”.
Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
