OPERATION
OPERATION (FIG. 5)
1. Hold the tool firmly with both hands on the insulated
handles. With the workpiece secured, set the guide bar
(Fig. 5 - 4) against the workpiece, keeping blade at a 90° angle
to the workpiece.
2. Press the ON/OFF trigger (Fig. 5 - 1) to turn on the band
saw. Use the speed dial (Fig. 5 - 2) to set the blade speed to
a suitable value. The blade runs between 60 - 420 feet per
minute. You can turn on the LED light to illuminate the cutting
area using the LED light switch (Fig. 5 - 3).
3. Wait a few seconds to allow the blade to reach full speed
before starting the cut.
WARNING:
The blade is exposed on the underside of the saw; hold the band saw away from
your body.
4. To start a cut, use minimal force to guide the blade into the workpiece to create a groove. Then,
allow the rest of the blade to cut into the workpiece. Guide the tool to prevent blade from moving
from side-to-side during cutting.
NOTE:
Do not apply too much force on the tool. The weight of the tool itself will create enough force
to make the cut; let the tool do the work. Forcing or leaning on the tool may twist or break the blade,
damaging the saw and possibly causing injury.
5. As you reach the end of your workpiece, finish off the cut by slowly raising the tool slightly,
bringing the blade up and away from the workpiece. Be careful to keep your feet clear of where the
cut-off piece will fall.
6. Turn off and wait for the blade to stop. Do not put the tool down until it has come to a complete
stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control. Unplug the power plug,
clean, then store the tool indoors out of the reach of children.
