There is a worklight (L) located above the blade.
The worklight is activated when the trigger switch
is depressed, and will automatically turn off 20
seconds after the trigger switch is released. If the
trigger switch remains depressed, the worklight will
remain on.
NOTE:
The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.
Blades
This portable band saw is designed to use
.020" (0.5 mm) thick, 1/2" (12.5 mm) wide and
44-7/8" (1140 mm) long blades.
DO NOT
use .025
(.64 mm) thick blades.
WARNING:
The use of any other blade or
accessory might be hazardous.
DO NOT
use any
other type of accessory with your band saw. Blades
used on stationary band saws are of different
thickness. Do not attempt to use them on your
portable unit.
Blade Selection
In general, first consider the size and shape of the work, and the type
of material to be cut. Remember, for the most efficient cutting, the
coarsest tooth blade possible should be used in a given application,
because the coarser the tooth, the faster the cut. In selecting the
appropriate number of teeth per inch of the band saw blade, at least
two teeth should contact the work surface when the blade is rested
against the workpiece. As a rule of thumb, soft materials usually require
coarse tooth blades, while hard materials require fine tooth blades.
Where a smoother finish is important, select one of the finer tooth
blades.
Select the appropriate band saw blade according to the material type,
dimensions, and number of teeth. See
Blade Description
chart.
The following table is intended as a general guide only. Determine the
type of material and dimension of the workpiece and select the most
appropriate band saw blade.
NOTICE:
Never use the band saw to cut resin materials which are
subject to melting. Melting of resin material caused by high heat
generated during cutting may cause the band saw blade to become
