SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BAND SAWS
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and
knowing how your band saw works. Read and understand the
following safety rules before operating.
• Adjust the upper guide to just clear workpiece.
•Make sure that the blade is properly adjusted and tensioned
before operating.
• Do not remove small jammed pieces until the blade has
completely stopped.
•Hold workpiece firmly against the table. Do not saw a workpiece
which does not have a flat surface unless it can be supported.
•Turn the machine off if the workpiece is to be backed out of an
uncompleted cut.
BEFORE EACH USE:
Inspect your band saw.
•To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, turn the
switch off, unplug the band saw and remove the switch key
before changing the set-up, removing covers, guards or the
blade.
•Check the alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, band saw stability and any other conditions
that may affect the way the band saw works.
•If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or if any
electrical parts do not work properly, turn the band saw off and
unplug the saw. Replace damaged or missing parts before using
the band saw again.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM JAMS,
SLIPS, THROWN PIECES OR BROKEN BLADES.
Inspect your blade.
•Choose the right blade size, style and cutting speed for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
•Make surethe blade teeth point downward, towards the table.
•Make surethe blade guides and thrust bearings areproperly
adjusted.
•Make surethe blade tension is properly adjusted.
•To reduce the risk of accidental blade contact, minimize blade
breakage and provide maximum blade support, always adjust
the upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the
workpiece.
•Caution: Never cut metals with this band saw, only wood and
wood products.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.
•Use extra supports (tables, blocks, etc...) for any workpieces
large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
•NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table extension,
or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider
than the basic band saw table, or to help feed, support or pull
the workpiece.
•When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so
it will not slip and pinch the blade. A piece of molding for
example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not
let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
•Properly support round material such as dowel rods or tubing.
They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the blade to
“bite”. To avoid this, always use a “V” block or clamp the work
to the miter guage.
•Cut only one workpiece at a time.
WHENEVER THE BAND SAWIS RUNNING.
•Beforestarting your cut, watch the saw while it runs. If it makes
an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the
saw off and unplug. Do not restart until you have found and
corrected the problem.
Keep children away.
•Keep all visitors at a safe distance from the band saw.
•Make surebystanders are clear of the table and the workpiece.
Don’tforce the tool.
•Let the blade reach full speed beforecutting.
•It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.
•Feed the workpiece into the blade only fast enough to let the
blade cut without bogging down or binding.

MOTOR SPECIFICATION AND GROUNDING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical hazards, fire hazards
or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Your tool is
prewired for 120V operation. Connect the tool to a power line with
the appropriate voltage and a 15-amp branch circuit. Use a 15-amp
time delay type fuse or circuit breaker. The AC motor used for this
band saw is a non-reversible type, having the following
specifications:
GENERAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SAFETY
DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrocution:
•Use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Servicing should
be performed by an authorized and qualified service technician.
•Do not use in rain or where the floor is wet. This tool is intended
for industrial use.
WARNING! Do not allow your finger(s) to touch the terminals of
the plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the wall
outlet.
GROUNDING
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current. This reduces the risk of
electric shock. The plug must be used in a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit into the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified technician, ensuring
that it is grounded properly. Use only three wire extension cords
with three pronged plugs (Fig.1A). Improper connection of the
grounding wirecan result in the risk of electric shock. The green
wire is the ground wire. If the cord is damaged or worn, repair or
replace it before operating. If repair or replacement of the cord is
necessary, make sure the ground wire is NEVER connected to a live
terminal.
240V OPERATION
If240V, single phase operation is desired, the following instructions
must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from its power source.
2. The band saw comes with four motor leads that are connected for
120V operation. Reconnect these four motor leads for 240V
operation, as indicated on the inside of the capacitor cover.
3. The 120V plug supplied with the band saw must be replaced with
aCSA listed plug suitable for 240V operation. This plug is
illustrated in Fig.1B. Contact your authorized service center or
qualified electrician to install the plug and to change the
connections from 120V to 240V. The band saw must comply with
all local and national codes after the 240V plug is installed.

14” WOOD BANDSAW
WITH RESAW GUIDE
Resaw guide
Resawing is a method of ripping a piece of lumber into thinner pieces as
well as making book matched or slip matched panels. The curved resaw
guide (A) Fig.1 is the best option for guiding wood through the bandsaw.
The narrow line of contact makes it easy to compensate for a blade that
“leads” or wanders off the cutting line when the stock is fed straight into it.
You can get satisfactory results with this resaw guide “single point” method,
but it demands very careful hand control.
To install resaw guide;
1) Attach the resaw guide post (A) Fig.2 to the fence (B) using washer (C)
and lock handle (D).
2) Slide and position the resaw guide post so that it is centered with the
front edge of the blade and tighten lock handle.
Here’s how you can resaw precisely and easily using resaw guide. Pencil a
straight line down the edge of a square edged board. Start sawing along
your layout line, guiding the board freehand. If the blade is leading, you will
have to feed the board into the blade at an slight angle to keep cutting along
the line and to compensate for blade drift. See Fig.1.
