PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
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 bandsaw 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 traffic (either passing shop visitors or
other shop workers) or other tools or machinery.
BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE UNIT
This Deluxe 14" Wood Cutting Bandsaw is supplied with a
3/4" wide general purpose blade and is designed to
accommodate blade widths from 1/8" to 3/4". Ideal blade
length for this model 90-170B M1 is 112" (2845 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 (space between the blade
and the body of the saw
A ) is 13 1/2".
For cutting thicker stock or for resawing, the maximum
depth of cut
B (or max. workpiece height) is 12".
An adjustable rip fence C is supplied to serve as a straight-
edge 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.

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machin-
ery. 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 visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for everyone
but the individual operating the unit.

TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD
HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 293 LBS (133 KG).
Lifting and handling the machine
To limit the potential for damage in transport, this
bandsaw is shipped from the factory bolted to its
crate in the vertical position. With a forklift or hydrau-
lic pallet jack, move the entire crate as close to the
final installation location as possible, and then un-
crate the saw and remove the 4 bolts
A
that secure it
to the crate using a 15 mm wrench.
