Electric shock hazard.
• Do not modify the plug provided
with the tool.
• Connect this tool to a grounded
outlet on a 15-amp circuit.
Failure to observe these warnings
can result in severe injury or
death.
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a malfunc-
tion or breakdown, an electrical ground provides a path
of least resistance for the electric current. This path of
least resistance is intended to reduce the risk of electric
shock to the operator.
This tool’s electric cord has a grounding conductor
and a grounding plug like the plug illustrated below.
Do not modify the plug. Connect the plug to a 15-amp
grounded receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all national and local
codes and ordinances.
This tool is intended for use with a three-wire grounded
circuit. A temporary adapter may be used to connect
this tool to a two-pole circuit. See figure below. The
green-colored ear or lug extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box or water pipe. The
grounding lug or wire must be held in place by a metallic
screw or clamp. A temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded receptacle can be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
Important: The Canadian Electric Code does not permit
the use of a temporary adapter.
If it is necessary to replace the cord, use the wiring
diagram provided in the Maintenance and Service
section of this manual. The wire functions and corre-
sponding insulation colors are as follows:

bracket so that the blade guide assembly is as close
as possible to the item to be cut.
Important: The blade guide assembly must be at least
5-3/4 inches from the tip-off block or blade
will not be able to cut completely through
the item.
5. Plug saw into an appropriate power supply.
6. Press START. Lower the cutting head so the blade
rests on the item to be cut. The saw will shut off
automatically when cut is complete.
7. Raise the cutting head, open the vise, and remove
item from the saw.
Vertical Operation

handwheel.
2. Raise the cutting head to the vertical position.
3. Plug saw into an appropriate power supply.
4. Press START. Set the material onto the vertical
work table. Feed the material into the blade.
5. Press STOP when the cut is complete.
Cutting Suggestions
• Select the proper blade and blade speed for the
material to be cut. See Blade Selection and Blade
Speed Chart.
• Set the blade at the proper tension.
• Reduce the feeding pressure for the first two or three
cuts with a new blade.
• Set the adjustable roller support so that it is as close
as possible to the item to be cut.
• Lower the cutting head slowly so that the blade will
begin cutting before the full amount of feed pressure
is applied to the blade.
Replacing the Saw Blade
1. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
2. Raise the cutting head to the vertical position.
3. Loosen the wing nut on the blade guard. Remove
the blade guard.
4. See the exploded view. Loosen the thumb screw
(13) on the hinged idler wheel guard assembly (9).
5. Swing the wheel guard assembly away from the
blade.
6. Remove the wing nut (52) and drive wheel guard
(51).
7. Loosen the four hex head cap screws (24) that
clamp the take-up screw block (17). Turn the take-up
screw (14) to decrease the tension on the blade.
Remove the old blade.
8. Uncoil a new 1/2" x 64" blade. Viewing the saw from
the operator’s side, the teeth must point toward the
motor end. If the teeth do not point in this direction,
turn the blade inside out.
9. Install the blade:
a) Place the blade between the blade guide ball
bearings (31).
b) Slide the blade onto the drive and idler wheels
(48 and 4).
c) Turn the take-up screw (14) until the blade is
taut. When pressed, the blade should have
approximately 1/4" of play.
10. Replace the guards and lower the cutting head.
Connect the saw to the power supply. Start and
stop the saw a few times. Disconnect the saw from
the power supply.
11. Raise the cutting head to the vertical position.
Check the blade to see that it is riding correctly on
the drive and idler wheels. The blade should be
within approximately .032" from the flanges of both
wheels. If it is not, see the Wheel Pitch Adjustment
in the Maintenance section of this manual.

Maintenance
Overload Shut-Off and Reset
The motor automatically shuts off if it is overloaded or
overheated. If the motor shuts off:
1. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
3. Twist the blade. The bearings should be snug
enough to restrict the blade. If the blade twists
between the bearings, rotate the eccentric roller axle
(38) until the bearing is snug against the blade.
Wheel Pitch Adjustment
The blade should run within approximately .032" of
the wheel flange. Use a feeler gauge to measure this
distance. If it is more than .032", set the blade tension
according to the instructions under Replacing the Saw
Blade. If the distance is still more than .032", adjust the
wheel pitch as follows:
1. Disconnect the saw from power supply.
2. Loosen the four hex head cap screws (24) that clamp
the take-up screw block (17). Twist the take-up screw
(14) to decrease the tension on the blade.
3. Raise the cutting head to the vertical position.
Loosen the wing nut (37) on the blade guard.
Remove the blade guard.
4. Loosen the thumb screw (13) on the hinged idler
wheel guard assembly (9). Swing the wheel guard
assembly away from the blade.
5. Loosen the two cap screws closest to the end of the
saw to decrease the distance. Loosen the two cap
screws furthest from the end of the saw to increase
the distance.
6. Twist the take-up screw to put tension on the blade.
7. Put the guard (9) back in place and lower the
cutting head.
8. Connect the saw to the power supply and run the
saw for a few moments. Disconnect from power and
check the adjustment.
