ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
NOTE:
The blade must be tensioned and tracked, and the blade
guides must be adjusted before operation of the saw. Refer to
“Tensioning Blade”, “Tracking Blade” and “Blade Guides” in the
OPERATION section, page 6.
ATTACH DUST CHUTE
Refer to Figure 7, page 10.
•
Position dust chute (Ref. No. 29) against saw frame. Secure in
position using four pan head screws (Ref. No. 3).
ATTACH TABLE
Refer to Figure 10.
•
Remove the upper trunnion (Ref. No. 2) from the lower trunnion
(Ref. No. 9) by removing knob (Ref. No. 11).
•
Remove the four hex head bolts and flat washers (Ref. Nos. 3
and 4) from bottom of table (Ref. No. 1).
•
Place carriage bolt and guide block (Ref. Nos. 7 and 8) into slot
of upper trunnion.
•
Carefully position upper trunnion above the four tapped holes
in bottom of table and secure with four hex head bolts and flat
washers. Make sure that the carriage bolt protudes from the
slot of trunnion.
•
Remove table stud (Ref. No. 15) from the table.
•
Position table assembly so that blade slides into table slot.
Position upper trunnion on tip of lower trunnion, making sure
that the carriage bolt goes through the slot in the lower trun-
nion. Tighten knob onto carriage bolt. Make sure table assem-
bly tilts smoothly on lower trunnion and secure by tightening
knob. Replace table stud.
SET HORIZONTAL STOP
Refer to Figure 10.
•
When table is attached to frame, a bolt (Ref. No. 13) is used for a
horizontal stop.
•
Loosen trunnion knob and set table at 90° to blade using a
square.
•
Secure position of table with knob.
•
Adjust bolt to contact frame.
•
Lock bolt in position with hex nut (Ref. No. 14).
ATTACH RIP FENCE
Refer to Figure 10.
•
Rip fence (Ref. No. 5) rides in the slot of table (Ref. No. 1).
•
Slide rip fence into slot.
•
Hold rip fence to table and fasten by threading knob
(Ref. No. 6) into rip fence.
•
Rip fence can be repositioned by loosening knob.
ALIGN TABLE
Refer to Figure 10.
•
The table must be aligned properly so that the blade is at a
right angle to the table and that the rip fence is aligned with
the blade.
•
Lock the table in the horizontal position. Mount the rip fence
on the table. Slide the rip fence next to, but not touching, the
blade. Lock the rip fence.
•
Check that the blade is aligned parallel with the rip fence. If the
blade and fence are not parallel, loosen the four hex head bolts
(Ref. No. 3) that secure the upper trunnion (Ref. No. 2) on the
table. Adjust the table position so that the blade and rip fence
are parallel. Secure the table position by tightening the four
hex head bolts.
•
After assembly, the table has to be aligned in order to have the
blade running through the center of the slot in the table insert.
•
To move table sideways, loosen the four hex nuts (Ref. No. 14)
on the lower trunnion (Ref. No. 9). Move lower trunnion to left
or right until blade runs through the center of slot. Tighten hex
nuts and make sure that table stays in position while hex nuts
are being tightened.
INSTALL V-BELT (METAL CUTTING)
Refer to Figures 6, 7 and 11.
•
Band saw uses a step-pulley drive system to provide a selection
of blade speeds for metal cutting.
•
Loosen knob (Figure 7, Ref. No. 14). Place V-belt (Figure 11, Ref.
No. 44) on idler pulley and motor pulley (Figure 11, Ref. Nos. 38
and 40) with V-belt in desired location on pulleys. (See Figure 6,
page 7.)
•
Do not over tighten V-belts. Excessive tension on V-belt will
reduce life of belt. Belt is properly tensioned when light
pressure applied to midpoint of the belt produces about
1
/
2
” deflection.
•
Tension V-belt by pushing down on motor mount plate and
tightening knob (Figure 7, Ref. No. 14).
MOUNT SAW TO FLOOR
•
If saw is not properly positioned on a flat surface, it may
develop excessive vibration.
•
Mount to a flat, level surface through holes on top of base.
INSTALLATION
Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5, pages 5 and 6.

POWER SOURCE
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that
the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage speci-
fied. Power supply to the motor is controlled by a double pole
locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized
use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical
shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated at
300V and a three prong grounding type plug for your protection
against shock hazards.
