it is important
to
select
the
blade with the
right number of teeth per inch (TPI) for the
material being cut. The material size and shape
dictate tooth selection.
You need
to
consider:
(1).
The
width
of
the
cut. That
is,
the distance
in
the
cut
that each tooth must travel from
the
point
it enters the workpiece until it leaves
the
workpiece.
(2).
The shape ofthe workpiece.
• Squares, Rectangles, Flats (Symbol:

Failure to
comply
may
cause
serious
injuryl
Use of a water-soluble coolant will increase
cutting efficiency and prolong blade life. Do not
use black cutting oil as a substitute. Change
cutting oil often and follow manufacturers
instructions
as
to
its uses and precautions.
{1}. Disconnect machine from the power source.
(2). Remove coolant return hose from tank cover.
(3). Slide tank out If saw base and carefully

assembly back into base.
(6). Replace return hose back into hole in tank lid.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE SAW WITHOUT
BLADE GUARDS
IN
PLACE.
Be sure the blade is not
in
contact with the work
when
the
motor is started. Start the motor. allow
the saw to come to full speed, then begin the cut
by letting the head down slowly onto the work.
DO
NOT DROP OR FORCE. Let the weight of the
saw
head
provide the cutting force. The
saw
automatically shuts offat the end of
the
cut.
F.
BLADE SELECTION:
The choice of blade pitch is governed by the
thinness of the work to be cut: the thinner the
workpiece, the more teeth advised. A minimum of
three (3) teeth should angage the workpiece
at
all
times for proper cutting
if
the teeth of the blade
are so far apart that they straddle the work,
severe damage to the
workpieG.E'
and to the made
can result.
G. CHANGING BLADE:
Raise saw head to vertical
pOSition
and open the
blade guards. Loosen tension screw knob
sufficiently to allow the saw blade
to
slip off the
wheels. Install the new blade with teeth slanting
-7-
toward the motor as follows:
(1). Place the blade in between each ofthe guide
bearings.
(2). Slip the blade around the motor pulley
(bottom) with the left hand and hold inposition.
(3). Hold the blade taut against the motor pulley
by
pulling the blade upward with the right hand
which is placed at the top Ifthe made.
(4). Remove left hand from bottom pulley and
place is at the top aide of the made to continue
the application on the upward pull
on
the blade.
(5). Remove right hand from blade and adjust the
position of the top pulley to pennitleft hand to slip
the blade around the pulley using the thumb,
index and little finger as guides.
(6). Adjust the blade tension knob clockwise until
it
isjus t right enough so no blade slippage occurs.
Do not tighten excessively.
(7). Replace the blade guards.

10.BLADE GUIDE BEARING
ADJUSTMENT
ATIENTION: this is the most important
adjustment
on
your
saw.
II is impossible
to
get
satisfactory work from your saw
if
the
blade
guides are not properly adjusted. The blade guide
bearings on your metal. Cutting Band Saw
are
adjusted
and
power tested with several test cuts
before leaving the factory to insure proper setting
the need for adjustment should rarely occur
when
the saw is used properly,
if
the guides do get out
of adjustment though, it is extremely important
to
readjust immediately. If improper adjustment in
maintained, the blade will not cut straight, and if
the situation is not corrected it will cause serious
blade damage, because guide adjustment is a
critical factor in the performance of your
saw,
it
is
always best to try a new blade
to
see if this will
correct poor cutting before beginning to adjust.
If
a blade becomes dull on one side soonerthan the
other, for example,
it
will begin cutting crooked. A
blade change will correct this problem the guide
adjustment will not. If a new blade does not
correct the problem, chick the blade guides for
proper spacing.
NOTE: There should
