NOTICE
Safety Instructions for Machinery
SECTION 1: SAFETY

-10- Model G0887 (Mfd. Since 01/19)
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
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-
ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for
Horizontal Metal Bandsaws
Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or
moving parts or making direct contact with the moving blade. To minimize risk of injury, anyone
operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always properly sup-
port workpiece with table, vise, or some type of
support fixture. Always secure workpiece in vise
before cutting. Never hold the workpiece with your
hands during a cut.
UNSTABLE WORKPIECES. Avoid cutting work-
pieces that cannot be properly supported or
clamped in a vise or jig, because they can unex-
pectedly move while cutting and draw the opera-
tor’s hands into the blade causing serious per-
sonal injury. Examples are chains, cables, round
or oblong-shaped workpieces, and those with
internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.
FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-
ting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid
could 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 slip-
ping hazards.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for
cracks and missing teeth before each use.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position hands or fin-
gers in line with the cut or under bandsaw head-
stock while lowering or operating. Hands could be
cut or crushed.
BLADE GUARD POSITION. Adjust blade guard
as close to workpiece as possible before cutting
to minimize operator exposure to unused portion
of blade.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate
this saw without blade guard in place. Loose
clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be
drawn into working parts.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing
blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear
gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to
protect eyes.
HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.

-12- Model G0887 (Mfd. Since 01/19)
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Infection, amputation, or death can result from contact with leaking hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Additionally, leaking hydraulic fluid is a serious slip hazard and fire hazard. To reduce
these risks, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings
below.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH LEAKS. Immediately
stop machine and depressurize hydraulic system
if a leak is discovered or suspected. Operating
hydraulic system with leaks may increase the
hazard of the situation and damage the machine.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. Only use high-
pressure hydraulic hose and steel hydraulic fit-
tings with compatible threads when replacing
components in the hydraulic system. DO NOT
overtighten or use soft metal fittings such as brass
or aluminum.
DEPRESSURIZE FOR MAINTENANCE. Always
depressurize hydraulic system before performing
any service or maintenance. Always stop machine
and disconnect power before relieving hydraulic
pressure. Verify hydraulic pressure is at 0 PSI
before proceeding with maintenance.
PREVENTING LEAKS. Always support and
restrain hydraulic hoses to minimize friction during
operation that could lead to machine damage that
may result in serious injury. Regularly inspect and
perform maintenance on the hydraulic system.
Following a regular schedule will decrease the
likelihood of damage to the machine and reduce
the risk of associated hazards.
INJECTION INJURIES. Immediately seek medi-
cal attention if injection injury occurs. Leaking
hydraulic fluid often has enough pressure to pen-
etrate skin, which can lead to infection, amputa-
tion, or death. Hydraulic fluid can enter the skin
through small wounds that are barely noticeable.
Minimizing the time between injury and removal
of the injected material is critical to successful
treatment.
CHECK FOR LEAKS. Never use your hands to
check for hydraulic leaks. Small leaks can be
invisible to the naked eye. Use a piece of wood or
cardboard to find suspected leaks.
EYE INJURIES. Safety glasses may not be suffi-
cient to protect against pressurized hydraulic fluid.
Depressurize hydraulic system before approach-
ing a known leak.
FLUID CONTAMINATION. Make sure hydraulic
system maintenance is performed in a clean and
dust-free work area. Remove all contaminants
from near hydraulic system openings and compo-
nents prior to maintenance, to prevent debris from
entering the hydraulic system. Always use lint-free
rags when cleaning components. Contaminated
hydraulic fluid may damage the machine and
cause hydraulic system failure that can result in
serious injury or death.

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 220V ..... 25 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.
Circuit Requirements for 220V
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage ......... 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V
Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz
Phase .................................................... 3-Phase
Power Supply Circuit ......................... 30 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ......................... NEMA L15 - 30
Cord ........“S”-Type, 4-Wire, 10 AWG, 300 VAC
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.)

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 ...........................10 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
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.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.
Grounding Instructions
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.
The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V”
on the previous page
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground-
ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances (see figure below).
No adapter should be used with plug. If
plug does not fit available receptacle, or if
machine must be reconnected for use on a
different type of circuit, reconnection must
be performed by an electrician or qualified
service personnel, and it must comply with
all local codes and ordinances.

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.
