GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug . The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug if it will not fit the
outlet. Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment grounding cond-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor (with or without yellow stripe) is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if uncertain whether the tool is properly
grounded.
5. Use only extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
7. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in sketch A.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C,
may be used to connect the plug to a 1-pole receptacle
as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, etc. extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
Note:
The type of electrical plug and receptacle differs from
country to country.
Caution:
In Canada only the grounding shown in figure (A) is
acceptable. The extension cords should be CSA certified
S.J.T. type or something better.
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be use for the power tools. This circuit should not be less than No.12 wire and
should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. Never use long extension cords. If an extension cord is used,
use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept
the tool plug. Before connecting the motor to the power line, be sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as stamped on motor nameplate. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low
voltage will damage the motor.

BAND SAW BLADES
A band saw blade is a delicate piece of steel that is subjected to
tremendous strain. You can obtain long use from a band saw
blade if you give it proper treatment. Be sure you use blades of
the proper thickness, width and temper for the type of material to
be cut.
Always use the widest blade possible. Use the narrow blades
only for sawing small pieces, abrupt curves and for fine, delicate
work. This will save blades and will produce better work. Band
saw blades may be purchased welded, set, sharpened and
ready for use.
File and set the cutting blade whenever you find it requires
pressure to make a cut. If a blade is broken, it can be brazed or
welded. However, if it has become work-hardened, it will soon
break in another place. If you are not equipped to file, set and
braze or weld blades, take them to a saw filer for reconditioning.
Under average conditions, blades should be resharpened after 4
hours of operation.
Many conditions may cause a band saw blade to break. Blade
breakage is in some cases unavoidable. However, operator
error often causes blades to break. The most common causes of
blade breakage are: (1) Faulty alignment and adjustment of the
guides, (2) Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a
short-radius curve, (3) Feeding stock too quickly, (4) Dullness of
the teeth or absence of sufficient set, (5) Excessive tightening of
the blade, (6) Top guide set too high above the work being cut,
(7) Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or
weld and, (8) Continuous running of the saw blade when not in
use for cutting.
New blades for the standard band saw should be 77 1/2"
(1968mm) length, 5/8" (16mm) width.
OPERATING THE BAND SAW
Before starting the machine, make sure that all adjustments are
properly made and the guards are in place. Turn the pulley by
hand to make sure that everything is correct BEFORE turning on
the power.
Keep the top guide down close to the work at all times. Do not
force the material against the blade too hard. Light contact with
the blade will permit easier following of the line and prevent
undue friction, heating and work-hardening of the blade at its
back edge.
KEEP THE SAW BLADE SHARP and you will find that very little
forward pressure is required for average cutting. Moving the
stock into the blade at a steady speed will provide an easy
cutting movement.
Avoid twisting the blade by trying to turn sharp corners.
Remember you must saw around corners.
CUTTING CURVES
When cutting curves turn the stock carefully so that the blade
can follow without being twisted. If a curve is so abrupt that it
necessary to repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, either a
narrow blade or a blade with more set is required. The more set
a blade has, the easier it will allow the stock to be turned.
However, the cut is usually rougher than a blade with a medium
amount of set. In order to change the cut, the operator must be
careful that he does not accidentally draw the blade off the
wheels. In most cases it is easier and safer to turn the stock and
saw with a series of cuts to protect the blade.
