PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only
on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support
the weight of the machine (194 lbs - 88 kg) and the
operator.
Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for
placement within your shop that will allow the operator
to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traf-
fic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers)
or other tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators,
it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop
machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor
around each machine can help avoid accidents that
could cause injury to either the operator or the shop
visitor.
It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint
(using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor
the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone.
Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visi-
tors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever
a machine is running for everyone but the individual
operating the unit.
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spir-
its or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safe-
ty recommendations).
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by
clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted
surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove
paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or
use regular applications of any after-market surface
protectant or rust inhibitor.
CLEANING
TIP: WITH A SCREWDRIVER, PUSH A SOLVENT-SATURATED
RAG INTO THE T-SLOTS TO REMOVE THE GREASE.
BASIC FUNCTIONS
This 14” Wood Cutting Bandsaw is supplied with a 1/2” general purpose blade and is designed to accommodate
blade widths from 1/8” to 3/4”. Ideal blade length for this model 90-120 is 100 3/4” (2560 mm).
Note: Generally speaking, because the upper wheel height is somewhat adjustable (to allow for blade tensioning), a
blade length variation of plus or minus 1/2” from the “ideal blade length” can be accommodated.
Maximum inboard width of cut is 13 3/8”. For cutting thicker stock or for resawing, the maximum depth of cut (or
max. workpiece height) is 9” (230 mm). An adjustable rip fence is supplied to serve as a straightedge to guide
the workpiece for longer rip cuts. The fence can easily be removed and set aside when not required, for example
when making curved cuts.
