ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this product is approximately 3,000
sfpm. This speed is not constant and decreases under
a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a
shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A
line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance
will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power tool may not be able to support two
or three products.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the
cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1,
page 17. Only connect the product to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with
this product.
ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
Useonly3-wireextension cordsthathave3-pronggrounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product’s plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that the product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the product outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a
power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area could

MOUNTING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH
If the band saw is to be used in a permanent location, we
recommend that you secure it to a workbench or other
stable surface. When mounting the saw to a workbench,
holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of
the workbench.
Each hole in the saw base should be bolted securely
using bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included).
Place band saw on the workbench. Using the saw base
as a pattern, locate and mark the holes where the band
saw is to be mounted.
Drill holes through the workbench.
Place band saw on the workbench aligning holes in the
saw base with the holes drilled in the workbench.
Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock
washers and hex nuts (not included).
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
bench.
Supporting surface where band saw is mounted should be
examinedcarefullyaftermountingtoinsurethatnomovement
during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted,
secure workbench or support surface before beginning
cutting operation.
CLAMPING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 5, page 18.
If the band saw is to be used as a portable tool, it is
recommended that you fasten it permanently to a mounting
board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other
supporting surface. The mounting board should be of
sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any
good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in. thickness
is recommended.
Mount saw to board using holes in saw base as a template
for hole pattern. Locate and mark the holes where the
band saw is to be mounted.
Follow the last three steps in the section Mounting Band
Saw to Workbench, shown above.
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to
go through holes in the saw base and material the saw is
being mounted to. If machine bolts are being used, make
sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in the saw
base, the material being mounted to, and the lock washers
and hex nuts.
NOTE: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and
washers on bottom side of mounting board.
MOUNTING THE SAW TABLE
See Figures 6 - 7, pages 18 - 19.
Loosen and remove the table aligning bolt, washer, and
wing nut on the saw table.
Loosen the table extension knobs beneath the sliding
table extension by turning them clockwise.
Slide the table extension out and retighten the table
extension knobs.
Standing at the front of the band saw, slide the saw table
past the blade and through the slot moving from the right
side of the saw table to the left.
Align the screw holes in the saw table with the holes in
the saw table bracket.
Using the phillips screws, attach the saw table to the saw
table bracket. Tighten phillips screws securely.
Close the sliding table extension, retighten the table
extension knobs, then attach the table aligning bolt,
washer, and wing nut to the saw table.
NOTE: The wing nut goes below the saw table.

ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE SAW TABLE TO THE BLADE
See Figure 8, page 19.
Turn the lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the blade
guide assembly. Turning the blade guide knob clockwise,
raise the blade guide assembly as far as it will go. Turn
the lock knob clockwise to retighten.
Place a small combination square on the saw table beside
the blade.
Loosen the table lock knob and rotate the angle
adjustment knob to tilt the saw table up or down to align
table 90° to blade (0° position). Retighten the table lock
knob.
Using a 4 mm hex key, adjust the zero stop set screw
until the set screw just touches the saw housing.
Check squareness of the saw table to the blade. Make
readjustments if necessary.
Loosen screw on scale indicator with a phillips screwdriver
and align scale indicator to zero.
Tighten all screws securely.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
See Figures 9 - 10, page 19.
Remove the switch key.
Before using the band saw, turn the blade tension knob
on the top of the saw clockwise to engage tension.
NOTE: Adjustments of blade tension can be made at
anytime.
Another method of checking blade tension has to do with the
sound the blade makes when plucked like a guitar string.
Pluck the back straight edge on the coasting side
opposite the blade guides while turning the tension knob.
Sound should be a musical note. Sound becomes higher
pitched as tension increases.
Using either method to check blade tension can be devel-
oped with practice.
Never increase blade tension so tight as to completely
compress the spring. When completely compressed, the
spring can no longer act as a shock absorber.
NOTE: Too much tension may cause the blade to break. Too
little tension may cause the blade to slip on the wheels.
TRACKING THE BLADE
See Figure 10, page 19.
NOTE: Adjust blade tension properly before making tracking
adjustments. Check that the blade guides are not interfering
with the blade.
To adjust:
Open the front cover by releasing the upper and lower
latches. Watch the blade’s position on the upper tire
through the tracking view window as, by hand, you
slowly turn the upper wheel clockwise. If the blade moves
away from the center of the tire, the tracking must be
adjusted.
If the blade has moved left or right of center:
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the hex nut for a larger
range of adjustments. Be sure to retighten after adjusting.
Turn the blade tracking knob (clockwise if blade has
moved left and counterclockwise if blade has moved right)
while turning the wheel by hand until the blade moves
back and rides in the center of the tire.
Check the position of the blade on the lower tire. The
blade should be completely on the tire. If not, adjust the
tracking until the blade is on both tires.
Rotate the upper wheel by hand in a clockwise direction
for a few more turns. Make sure the blade stays in the
same location on the tires. Readjust, if necessary, until
blade is tracking properly.
Close front cover and relatch.
NOTE: The 1/8 in. blade may not track properly in the center
of the wheel. It may be better to track this blade on the back
half of the upper wheel.
WARNING:
The blade guides have been preset at the factory.
These settings are functional for some applications. We
recommend that you check and adjust blade guide

OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use
of attachments or accessories not recommended can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid blade contact, adjust the blade guide assembly
to just clear the workpiece. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
Scroll cutting and circle cutting of wood and wood
composition products
Various straight line cutting operations in wood and wood
composition products
ATTACHING THE WORKLIGHT
See Figure 11, page 19.
Slide the worklight bracket into the slot at the back of the
band saw housing.
Insert wing screw and tighten securely.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This worklight has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do
not alter the plug.
BASIC OPERATION OF THE BAND SAW
A band saw is basically a “curve cutting” machine that can
also be used for straight-line cutting operations like cross
cutting, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resaw-
ing. When using the band saw for straight line cutting, the
user can install a fence using an appropriately sized piece of
wood clamped to the table with “C” clamps. It is not capable
of making inside or non-through cuts.
This band saw is designed to cut wood and wood composi-
tion products only.
Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience
excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn
the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw. Do
not restart until locating and correcting the problem.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.
Use gentle pressure and both hands when feeding the
work into the blade. Do not force the work; allow the
blade to cut.
The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is determined
by blade width. A 1/4 in. wide blade will cut a minimum
diameter of 1-1/2 in.; a 1/8 in. wide blade will cut a
minimum diameter of 1/2 in.
Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not hand
hold pieces so small your fingers will go under the blade
guard.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause serious injury from contact with
the blade. Never place hands in blade path.
Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) when
cutting large, small or awkward workpieces.
Never use a person as a substitute for a table extension
or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or
wider than the basic saw table.
ASSEMBLY

12 — English
OPERATION
Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come
to a full and complete stop.
Choose the right size and style blade for the material and
type of cut you plan to do.
Make sure that the blade teeth point down toward the saw
table, that the blade guides, thrust bearings, and blade
tension are properly adjusted, that the blade guide knob
is tight, and that no parts have excessive play.
To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade
breakage, and provide maximum blade support, always
adjust the blade guide assembly to just clear the
workpiece.
Use only recommended accessories.
With the exception of the workpiece and related support
devises, clear everything off the saw table before turning
the saw on.
Properly support round materials such as dowel rods or
tubing because they have a tendency to roll during a cut
causing the blade to “bite”. To avoid this, always use a
“V” block or clamp workpiece to a miter gauge.
Before removing loose pieces from the saw table, turn
saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
LOCKING THE SWITCH
See Figure 12, page 20.
Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw
has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the
switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe
place.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
See Figure 12, page 20.
Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw
has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the
switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe
place.
Unplug the saw from the power source.
Make workshop childproof.
Lock the shop.
TILTING THE TABLE
See Figure 13, page 20.
Loosen the table lock knob slightly.
Turn the angle adjustment knob, tilting the saw table
toward the front of the saw housing until it reaches the
desired angle.
Using the scale indicator, check angle markings.
Retighten the table lock knob to hold saw table securely
in place.
When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your
work so it will not pinch the blade. For example, a piece
of molding must lay flat on the saw table. Workpieces
must not twist, rock or slip while being cut.
When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind in
the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging
the kerf or when the blade comes out of the guides. If this
happens:
Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw
has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the
switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe
place.
Unplug the saw from the power source.
Wedge the kerf open with a flat screwdriver or wooden
wedge.
Open front cover and turn the upper wheel by hand while
backing up the workpiece.
RELIEF CUTS
Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too small
a radius for the blade) is to be cut. Cut through a scrap
section of the workpiece to curve in pattern line then carefully
back the blade out. Several relief cuts should be made for
intricate curves before following the pattern line as sections
are cut off of curve “relieving” blade pressure.
SCROLL CUTTING
For general type scroll cutting, follow the pattern lines by
pushing and turning the workpiece at the same time. Do not
try to turn the workpiece while engaged in the blade without
pushing it – the workpiece could bind or twist the blade.
REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL
Neverremove jammedcutoffpieces untilthe bladehas come
to a full and complete stop.
Place the switch in the OFF position. Wait until the saw
has come to a full and complete stop, then remove the
switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe
place.
Unplug the saw from the power source before removing
jammed material.
AVOIDING INJURY
Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should
always be on a firm, level surface with plenty of room for
handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping,
walking or sliding during operations like cutting long,
heavy boards.
Turn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug cord from
the power source before moving the saw.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES
AVERTISSEMENT :
La poussière dégagée lors du ponçage, sciage, meulage, perçage de certains matériaux et lors d’autres opérations de
construction contient des produits chimiques reconnus causer le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou des lésions de
l’appareil reproducteur. Voici certains exemples de ces produits chimiques :
• le plomb contenu dans la peinture au plomb,
• la silice cristalline contenue dans les briques, le béton et d’autres produits de maçonnerie, ainsi que
• l’arsenic et le chrome contenus dans le bois de construction traité par produits chimiques.
Le risque présenté par l’exposition à ces produits varie en fonction de la fréquence de ce type de travail. Pour réduire
l’exposition à ces produits chimiques : travailler dans un endroit bien aéré et utiliser des équipements de sécurité approuvés
tels que masques antipoussière spécialement conçus pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
et de recul. La scie peut glisser ou se déplacer lors de la
coupe de pièces lourdes ou longues.
MAINTENEZ FERMEMENT LA PIÈCE contre la table.

AVANT DE CHANGER LE RÉGLAGE, D’ENLEVER UN
CARTER, UN PROTÈGE-LAME OU LA LAME, débranchez
la scie et retirez la clé de l’interrupteur.
GARDEZ LES LAMES TRANCHANTES, PROPRES ET
AYANT SUFFISAMMENT DE VOIE. Les lames tranchantes
réduisent au minimum les calages et les reculs.
ARRÊTEZTOUJOURS LASCIE avant de la débrancher afin
d’éviter un démarrage accidentel lors du rebranchement de
la scie.
N’UTILISEZ PAS L’OUTIL SI VOUS ÊTES SOUS
