NOTICE
Safety Instructions for Machinery
SECTION 1: SAFETY

Model G0561 (Mfd. Since 01/18) -9-
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate-
rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-
ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-
tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-
ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-
ommended accessories. Using improper acces-
sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before

-10- Model G0561 (Mfd. Since 01/18)
Additional Safety for Metal Bandsaws
Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating
or moving parts. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from breathing metal dust created
while cutting. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed
hazards and warnings below.
CLEARING JAMS AND CUTOFFS. Always stop
bandsaw and disconnect power before clearing
scrap pieces. Use brush or push stick, not hands,
to clean swarf/cutoff scraps from table or vise.
BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due to
blade contact, always allow blade to stop on its
own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade with hand
or workpiece.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always properly sup-
port workpiece with table, vise, or some type of
support fixture. Always feed stock evenly and
smoothly during vertical cutting operations; secure
workpiece in vise and never hold workpiece with
hands during horizontal cutting operations. Flag
long workpieces to avoid tripping hazard.
HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and workpiece itself can cause burns.
UNSTABLE WORKPIECES. Workpiece cannot
be held in vise while cutting in vertical position
and an unstable workpiece that unexpectedly
moves while cutting can draw operator's hand into
blade, causing serious injury. If workpiece cannot
be safely supported by hand in vertical position
or by vise/jig in horizontal position, DO NOT cut
workpiece on this machine. Examples are chains,
cables, round/oblong-shaped workpieces, those
with internal/built-in moving/rotating parts, etc.
FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-
ting magnesium. Using wrong cutting fluid will
lead to chip fire and possible explosion.
CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Cutting fluids are
poisonous. Always follow manufacturer’s cutting-
fluid safety instructions. Pay particular attention
to contact, contamination, inhalation, storage and
disposal warnings. Spilled cutting fluid invites
slipping hazards.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for
cracks and missing teeth before each use. Make
sure blade is properly tensioned and tracking
before operating.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position hands or
fingers in line with cut, under table during vertical
cutting operations, or under bandsaw headstock
while it is lowering or operating in horizontal
position. Hands could be cut or crushed. Placing
hands or fingers in line with blade or too close to
blade during vertical cutting operations may result
in serious injury if hands slip or workpiece moves
unexpectedly.
SMALL/NARROW WORKPIECESDURING
VERTICAL CUTTING. If hands slip during cut
while holding small workpieces with fingers, seri-
ous personal injury could occur.
BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade is
at full speed could cause blade to grab workpiece
and break blade or pull hands into blade while cut-
ting in vertical position. Allow blade to reach full
speed before starting cut. DO NOT start machine
with workpiece contacting blade.
BLADE GUARD POSITION. Adjust blade guard
as close to workpiece as possible before cutting
to minimize operator exposure to blade.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate
saw without blade guard and covers in place. Do
not wear loose clothing, jewelry, long hair, and
gloves that can be entangled in moving parts.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades,
disconnect machine from power, wait for moving
parts to come to complete stop, and wear gloves
and safety glasses to protect hands and eyes.
Make sure teeth of new blade face workpiece in
direction of blade travel.

Model G0561 (Mfd. Since 01/18) -11-
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-
ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, shock,
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 115V... 12.6 Amps
Full-Load Current Rating at 230V .... 6.3 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-
loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con-
sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup-
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

-12- Model G0561 (Mfd. Since 01/18)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

Cleanup
T23692—Orange Power Degreaser
A great product for removing the waxy ship-
ping grease from the non-painted parts of the
machine during clean up.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.
NOTICE
Avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake
parts cleaner that may damage painted sur-
faces. Always test on a small, inconspicu-
ous location first.

Weight Load
Refer to the
Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon-
gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or
the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or
other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space
around machine to disconnect power supply or
apply a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
