GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you do not understand
grounding instructions or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at 250V and a
3-prong grounding type plug rated at 125V (See Figure 6) for your
protection against shock hazards.
rounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly installed
and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle, as shown in
Figure 6.
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do
not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by an
authorized service facility.
reen (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding wire.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance
with National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See Figure 7) is
available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly
grounded.
NOTE: A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
available only for 115 volt operation.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the
side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry the
current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W. .)

FEED CONTROL - Two position ON/OFF knob engages and
disengages feed.
HORIZONTAL STO
Refer to Figure 17.
Horizontal stop (Ref. No. 14) controls the position of the head at the
end of the cut. Bed should contact the horizontal stop when teeth
are 1/8” below the surface of the workbed.
HORIZONTAL STO ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 17.
• Place head in the horizontal position.
• Loosen the nut (Ref. No. 9) on the horizontal stop.
• Adjust the horizontal stop so that the teeth are 1/8” below the
surface of the workbed.
• Tighten the nut to lock the position.
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
Refer to Figure 15.
The limit switch (Ref. No. 44) is activated when the blade passes
through the plane of the workbed. The limit switch should be
activated as soon as the cut is finished.
IM ORTANT: Make sure the action of the limit switch is not
restricted by the horizontal stop.
LUBRICATION
• All ball bearings are permanently lubricated. They should not
require further lubrication.
• If the tracking wheel or head pivot is disassembled for any
reason, wipe off the old grease before assembly.
OIL LEVEL
Refer to Figure 19.
• The gear box relies on an oil bath to lubricate the sliding surfaces
and transfer heat. The vent bolt (Ref. No. 8) is vented to release
pressure created by the developed heat. Insufficient lubrication
will cause the gears to heat up and wear at an accelerated rate. If
the gear box is overfilled, hot oil will escape through the vent
hole. The gear box is designed to take 51 ounces of 70-95 weight
industrial gear oil.
• The oil level should remain constant. If the level changes, a
defective gasket or bushing should be looked for and replaced.
• If the gear box is worked on, the oil should be replaced to avoid
contamination.
• Always add fresh oil and replace the oil seasonally, to guard
against breakdown.
• The seals between the gearbox and the cover plates are gaskets
(Ref. Nos. 14 and 24). If a cover plate is removed, the surface
should be cleaned and new gasket should be applied.
• After the first fifty hours of use, the gear box should be drained
and refilled with industrial gear oil (Model No. 6Y785).
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
Refer to Figures 9 and 19.
• Place the head in the horizontal position.
• Let the oil settle. Allow a few minutes if the head was in motion.
• Check the fluid level. Look at the oil sight lens (Ref. No. 19) and
follow the instructions in Figure 9.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
BLADE GUIDES
Band saw blade has to be twisted relative to the plane in which it
rotates. Blade must be properly positioned relative to the workbed.
Blade guides hold the cutting portion of the blade in a plane which
is perpendicular to both the workbed and the stationary vise and
keeps the blade in line with its natural path around the blade
wheels.
Inner guide bearings on the left and right guide assemblies keep the
blade in line with the blade wheels. Outer guide bearings keep the
blade against the inner bearings.
Entire guide assembly is positioned at the factory to produce the
proper twist and should not need adjustment, however, the position
of blade guides should be checked often.
NOTE: Since the blade position is related to both bed and the vise
jaws, the relative position of the jaw to the bed is important. When
assembled, the stationary jaw must be perpendicular to the surface
of the workbed.
CHECKING BLADE GUIDES
Refer to Figure 18.
• Check that the blade teeth are perpendicular to the base’s
machined surface.
• Spread the blade guides as far apart as possible.
• Check that vise jaws are parallel and set for 90° cutoff.
• Position the vise jaws to have the maximum separation that will
not interfere with the blade guides.
• With the head in horizontal position, use a square against face of
rear vise jaw and check that jaw is 90° to the side of blade.
• Check that the blade is in line with drive and tracking wheels
(Ref. Nos. 3 and 30).
• Raise the head.
• Look straight on at the cutting edge of the blade.
• Make sure that the blade sides are parallel to the sides of the
bearings.
• Make sure the bearings (Ref. No. 9) touch the blades and can still
be rotated by hand.
ADJUSTING GUIDE BEARINGS
Refer to Figure 18.
If the blade is not perpendicular to the bed or not in line with the
blade wheels, adjustment is necessary.
NOTE: There should be .000-.001” clearance between the blade and
the guide bearings.
The guide bearings are adjusted using an eccentric location system.
The inner guide bearings are fixed and cannot be adjusted. The outer
guide bearings are mounted to eccentric sleeves (Ref. No. 10) and
can be adjusted.
• Loosen socket head bolt (Ref. No. 6) with a wrench. Rotate the
eccentric shaft to locate bearings in desired positions.
• Maintain eccentric shaft position and tighten socket head bolt.
CHECKING THRUST BEARINGS
Refer to Figure 18.
The thrust bearings (Ref. No. 20) should be .003-.005” (average
thickness of a piece of paper) away from back of blade.
The thrust bearings are adjusted by moving the guide bracket.
ADJUSTING GUIDE BRACKETS
Refer to Figure 18.
• If the bearings are positioned properly and the blade is not
square, one or both blade guide brackets (Ref. Nos. 21 and 56)
must be adjusted.
• Loosen the socket head bolts (Ref. No. 23 and 58).
• Adjust the bracket to the correct position.
• Tighten the socket head bolt.
• Check the guide bearings. Repositioning the blade guide bracket
can alter the previous adjustments. Readjust if necessary.
BLADE SELECTION
Using the proper blade is important for setting up the correct
cutting conditions. Blades are made differently depending on the
specific application intended for the blade. Some simple rules can
still be applied to almost all blades.
• Always remember to have at least three teeth in contact with the
work during a cut. When three teeth are in contact, the blade
cannot straddle the work. This prevents a tooth that enters the
cut from encountering more material than it can remove.
• “Shocking” occurs when blade teeth contact too much material.
This can strip the teeth from the blade. When cutting harder
materials, the suggested minimum number of teeth in contact is
six because “shocking” on harder materials has a more
detrimental effect on the blade. Optimum number of teeth in
contact with workpiece distributes blade forces among more
teeth to increase cutting efficiency and reduces blade wear.
• Optimum range is from 6-12 teeth in contact for soft materials,
up to 12-24 teeth in contact for harder materials.
• Always have maximum number of teeth in contact with work to
prevent gullets of teeth from being clogged.
• When choosing a blade, overall size of the work is not as
important as the thickness average. Thickness average is the
average width of material which blade will contact during each
cut. Figure 10 describes how thickness average should be
calculated.
• Thickness average should be used when choosing a blade for the
optimum number of teeth in contact, however, the three teeth
rule should be applied to the minimum thickness, not thickness
average.
• Keeping a selection of sharp blades on hand will yield better
cuts. Blades may last longer because they are less likely to be
misused when proper blade is available.
• Every band saw should have at least one replacement blade of
each type used. Blade breakage is unpredictable. Consult a blade
manufacturer for detailed information about available blades for
specific uses.
REMOVING BLADE
Refer to Figure 17.
WARNING: Disconnect band saw from power source when
changing or adjusting blades. Wear leather gloves when handling
band saw blades. Never wear gloves when operating saw.
• Prop open the blade wheel covers.
• Loosen the outer guide bearings on the left and right guide
assemblies. No other guide bearings should be moved.
• Remove knobs and blade guard (Ref. Nos. 17 and 18).
• With one hand, pinch the blade and the tracking wheel together
to protect against the possibility of the blade popping off when
tension is released.
• Release the tension by slowly revolving the hand wheel (Ref. No.
69) counterclockwise.
• Remove the blade.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
RE LACING THE BLADE
• Make sure the outer guide bearings are loose.
• Make sure the teeth are pointing in the right direction (See
Figure 10).
• Place the blade around the wheels and between the guide
bearings.
• Hold the blade in position and apply tension. Blade tension
generally must be set at 25000 psi for hard back blades, and
35000 psi for bi-metal blades. Use tension scale (Figure 17, Ref.
No. 56).
• Push the blade against the wheel flange.
• Tighten the blade until it is properly tensioned. A properly
tightened blade will ring slightly when the back of the blade is
plucked (like a string of an instrument).
• Adjust the outer guide bearings.
• Check for proper tracking (See Tracking Adjustment).
TRACKING
Proper tracking is achieved when the drive wheel and tracking
wheel are aligned. A blade that is not tracking correctly can come off
the blade wheels. Although adjustment is rarely required, tracking
should be checked frequently.
CAUTION: Turn motor off and disconnect power to check tracking.
CHECK TRACKING
• Prop open the blade wheel covers.
• Insert a piece of paper between the blade and the lower portion
of the tracking wheel.
• Open the pulley cover and rotate the blade by turning the motor
pulley.
• Let the blade grab the paper. Rotate the pulley so the paper goes
around the wheel.
• Refer to Figure 11 to determine if an adjustment is needed.
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figures 10, 11 and 17.
The tracking is adjusted by positioning the idler wheel shaft (Ref. No.
61). The positioning is done with the hex head bolts (Ref. No. 58) only
if the upper socket head bolts (Ref. No. 60) are loose.
• Loosen the three socket head bolts.
• Adjust the tilt with hex head bolts. For correct tracking, refer to
Figure 11. Turn 1/4 revolution at a time.
• Check the blade tension and adjust if necessary.
• Recheck the tracking.
• Once the proper position has been found, tighten the bolts
securely.
BLADE S EED
Refer to Figures 12 and 17.
Choosing the proper blade speed is important for extending the life
of the blade. The speed determines the available cutting force.
• Harder materials require more force and are cut at a slower
speed.
• Softer materials are cut with less force at higher speeds to ensure
the proper removal of the chips.
• The speed and corresponding force are related to the power
supplied to the blade. Four speeds are available.
• If a motor, other than the one supplied is used, the cutting
conditions will be changed. Four speeds are available.
• Speed is changed by moving V-Belt (Ref. No. 36) to one of the
four pulley positions. Speeds and corresponding pulley
configurations are illustrated below.

CHANGING BELT OSITION
Refer to Figure 17.
• Remove knob (Ref. No. 30) from pulley cover (Ref. No. 31)
• Open pulley cover. Loosen socket head bolt (Ref. No. 45).
• Move the belt to the desired position.
• Tighten the socket head bolt to tension the belt. Belt is tensioned
properly when a moderate pressure applied to the belt between
the pulleys produces a 1/2” of deflection.
• Secure pulley cover with knob.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
FEED RESSURE
• Correct feed pressure holds the blade in the cut. Feed pressure is
supplied by the weight of the head. Maximum material removal
rate corresponds with the proper pressure.
• Optimum feed pressure ensures that maximum power is used for
cutting. If the feed pressure is too low, the blade will not dig into
the material properly. Too much feed pressure will cause the
blade to dig too deeply, bogging down the motor, and possibly
burning it out. In addition, blade “shocking” could result.
• Extra energy will be used to produce powdered chips rather than
smooth shavings; this will produce more heat and dull the blade.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to increase feed pressure by leaning on
head.
REGULATING FEED RESSURE
Refer to Figures 8 and 13.
• Feed pressure is controlled by the feed regulator. The regulator
creates a force which counteracts the feed pressure. The force
from the feed regulator can be adjusted to create any feed
pressure up to the set maximum.
• Having the correct feed pressure will produce the optimum feed
rate and the fastest cut. Incorrect pressure, whether too great or
too small, will put less power into the cut and reduce the feed
rate.
NOTE: Wasted power damages the saw.
• Determining the proper feed is largely a judgement based on
experience. The feed is usually determined during the cutting
operation. Before the cutting begins, the blade should be off the
work and the head should be held in position by placing the feed
control knob (See Figure 8) in the OFF position
• Once the blade is running, the head is slowly lowered onto the
work by turning the feed control knob to the on position, and
adjusting the feed regulator knob to the desired feed rate.
• After the blade begins the cut, optimum feed rate should be
determined.
• To determine if the feed is incorrect, examine the chips
produced. When the blade is operating at the ideal feed for the
speed, the chips will be curled and continuous. If the chips are
thick and not continuous, the feed pressure should be reduced. If
the chips are powdery, the feed pressure needs to be increased
(Refer to Figure 13).
CUTTING FLUIDS
• Using a cutting fluid can improve the cutting conditions and
keep them more consistent throughout the cut by:
a. Lubricating the blade, which reduces the friction between it
and the workpiece.
b. Taking heat away from the cut and preventing the workpiece
and blade from overheating.
c. Dissipating the built-up heat because hot metals become
tough and more difficult to cut and blades become dull at an
accelerated rate.
NOTE: Because much of the built-up heat comes from friction
between the blade and the workpiece, cutting fluids are often
referred to as “coolants”.
• The importance of cutting fluids increases with blade speed and
toughness of the material.
• There are many available types of cutting fluids. Consult a
machinist’s handbook for specific information. The most
common general purpose coolant is a mixture of water and
water soluble oil (Model No. 6Y647). The producer of the water
soluble oil should provide the appropriate mixing ratios.
COOLANT TANK
Refer to Figure 16.
• The coolant reservoir (Ref. No. 14) can hold up to four and a half
gallons of coolant. For proper operation, the pump must be
completely submerged in fluid.
• Check that the fluid level is sufficient before attempting wet-cut
operations. Usually four gallons is sufficient.
• Check that the tank is not filled with debris.
CAUTION: Do not allow shavings to flow through the pump.
Change the fluid and clean the tank often. Whenever possible, the
chips should be cleaned out of the chip tray (Ref. No. 1) before they
are washed into coolant reservoir.
OSITIONING
Refer to Figure 14, page 10.
The vise is designed to keep the workpiece steady while it is being
cut. The vise should only have to counteract the cutting forces. Using
the proper position will help produce a safe and accurate cut. These
general rules about positioning apply to most situations:
• The workpiece should rest flat on the workbed without the need
for side support. Some suggested configurations are shown in
Figure 14.
• The entire length of the work should be supported. Do not
balance the workpiece on the workbed. Use support stands to
prevent the work from falling off after the cut.
• Avoid positions which will cause the blade to encounter sharp
edges. If sharp corners cannot be avoided, file down the point
that the blade will contact.
WORK STO ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 14, page 10.
• Loosen the knob holding the work stop casting to the work stop
bar.
• Adjust the work stop casting to the desired length position.
• Rotate the work stop to contact the workpiece as close to the
bottom as possible.
• Tighten the knob.
• Do not allow the blade to rest on the workpiece while the motor
is shut off.
• Flats and rectangles have thickness averages of w (See Figure 14).

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
• Rounds and many sided regular cross-sections have thickness
average of 0.75d.
• Tubes and structurals have thickness average of 2.5t.
NOTE: See Blade Selection for more information on thickness
average calculation.
CHECK THE BLADE ATH
Before the saw is plugged in, check to see that blade path is clear
and that:
• All blade guards are in place.
• There is no debris inside the blade guard or covers.
• There is no debris on the blade or blade wheels.
• All hoses and line cords are out of the blade path.
WARNING: Do not operate saw unless all guards are in place and
the workpiece is the only object that will encounter the blade teeth.
MAINTENANCE
Refer to Figure 15.
Steps required to keep the saw in optimum operating condition
have been described under Operation. The Safety Precautions
should be performed before operation.
For proper maintenance:
• Keep saw clean and dry. Sweep off spots where chips have
collected and wipe off spots where coolant splashed.
• Lubricate the unpainted surfaces with a light application of
medium consistency machine oil to prevent corrosion after
cleaning.
• rease the vise lead screw (Ref. No. 11) if vise action becomes
difficult.
• Replace dull blades and blades from which teeth have been
stripped. A clean saw with a sharp blade will yield the best cut.
• Internal parts of the band saw have been completely lubricated
at the factory and do not need to be relubricated.
• After the first fifty hours of use, the gear box should be drained
and refilled.
WARNING: Make certain unit is disconnected from power source
before attempting to service or remove any component. If power
cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced
immediately by a qualified electrician.
