WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE
SAW
1. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
a. Place the saw on a firm level surface where
there is plenty of room for feeding the work-
piece.
b. Adjust the saw so the table is level and the saw
doesnot rock.
/D\
c. Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to $tip,slide,
ortip over during operations like cutting long,
heavyboards.
d. Turn saw off and unplug electriccord before
moving the saw to a new area.
2. Store and usethe band saw indoors.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Inspect your saw. If any part of this band saw is
missing, or bent,or failedin any way, or any
elactrical cornponentsdo not work properjy, turn
the saw off , remove switch key, and unplug the
saw. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts
before using the saw again.
2. Planyour work to protect your eyes, hands, face,
ears and body.
a. Do not do layout,assembly,or set up work on
the table while the saw is running.
b Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply
with (, SA 294.3-1969 (shown on package). Us-
ing any powertool can result in foreign objects
being thrown into the eyes,which can result in
-\-
and lock knob, lower blade guide, tensionadjust-
ing knob and tension scale, and blade thrust
bearing adjustment.
3. Readand understand all safetyinstructions and
operatingprocedures throughout the manual.
4. Read the following labels which appearon the

available at Sears retail or catalog stores. Use
of glasses or use of goggles not in compliance
with CSA 294.3-1969 could result in severe in-
jury from breakage of the eye protection.
c. For dusty operations, wear a face shield along
with safetygoggles.
d. Use extra caution with large, very small,or
awkward workpieces.
1. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
etc.)foranyworkpieces large enough to tiP
when not held down tO the table tOP.
2. Do not feed small pieces that requireyour
finger holding the workpiece to go under
the guard area. Use jigs or fixtures to hold
the work and keep your hands away from
the blade.
3. When cutting irregularly shapedwork-
pieces, plan your work so it will not pinch
the blade. A piece of molding, for example,
must lay flat or beheldby a fixture or jig that
will not let it twist, rock or slip while being
dowel rods,or tubing. They have a tendencY
to roll while being cut, causing the blade to
“bite.” To avoid this, always usea “V’'block,
cut
4. Property support round material such as
or clamp the workpiece to a miter gage.
e. To avoid risk of hearing damage,wear ear
plugs or muffs during extended periods of

BEFORE SANDING
1. Keep the tableand sanding belt adjusted so the
gap between them is no more than 1/16-inch
wide.
2. To avoid fire, shock, or causeelectrical shorts
do not sand metal.It could ignite the sawdust

f. To avoid beingsuddenly caughtin the blade:
1. Do not wear gloves.
2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
3,Tiebacklonghair,
4. Roll long sleevesabove the elbow.
g. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
unplug saw, turn switch off and remove switch
key before removing the guard, installing or
removinganyblade, accessoryor attachment,
or making any adjustments.
h. To avoid slips and jams causinginjury:
1 . Choose the right size and style blade for the
material and the type of cutting you planto
do. Use this band saw to cutand sand only
wood, wood like products and plastic
2. Make sure the blade teeth point downward
toward the table.
3. Makesure the blade tracking guides and
thrustbearings areproperly adjusted
4. Always check and correctly adjust blade or
sanding belt tension.
i. To avoid accidental bladecontact, minimize
bladebreakage and provide maximum blade
support.
Alwaysadjust the upper bladeguide and
blade guardto just clear the workpiece.

2- Planyour hand placementso your fingers
will not be where a sudden slip could cause
them to hit the blade.
j. Make sure all clampsand locks aretight and
thereis no excessive play in any parts.
k. Toavoid an electrical shock,make sure your
fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the
pIug when installing or removing the plug to or
from a live outlet.
I, Neverturnyour band saw “ON" before clearing
everythingexceptthe workpieceand related
feed or supportdevices off the table.
WHENEVER SAWIS RUNNING
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY
(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR
BANDSAW)TOCAUSEACARELESSMISTAKE.
ALWAYSREMEMBERTHAT A CAnELEss
FRACTIONOF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO
INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
a. If your saw makes unfamiliar noise or if it
vibrates excessively, stopimmediately.Turn
the saw off. remove switch key and unplug the
saw. Do not restartuntil finding and correct-
ingthe problem.
\ur
b, Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could causea hand to move into the blade
or the sanding belt.
c. Feed the workpiece only fastenough to let the
blade cutwithout bo99ingdown.or binding.
d. Before freeing jammed material, turn saw off.
Remove switch key. Remove plugfrompower
source outlet. Waitfor all moving parts to stop.
e. When backing up the workpiece, the blade
may bind in the ken (cut). This is usually
caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf or
because the blade comes out of the guides. If
this happens:
Turn saw off
2. Unplug saw.
3. Remove switch key.
4. Waitfor all moving parts to stop_
5. Remove band saw cover.

6. Stick a flat blade screwdriver or wedgeinto'
the kerf
7. Turn the upper wheel by handwhile backing
up the workpiece.
f. Before removing loose pieces from the table.
turn saw off and wait for all moving pans tO
stop.

Association-The ground conductor hasa green jacket
and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to

grounded three prong outlet.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION:To avoid motord8magethis motorshould
be blown out or vaeuumed frequently to keep
sawdust frominterfering wIth normal motorventila-
tion
1. ThiS tool should be connected to a 120V,15 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker.Failure to use the proper size fusecan
resultin damageto the motor-
2. If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to
the “OFF” position immediately.UNPLUG THE
TOOL. Check the sawblade to make sure itturns
freely. If the bladeis free. try to start the motor
again. If the motor still does not start. refer to the
“Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart.” \un/
3. If the motor suddenly stallswhile cutting wood,
turn the power switchoff, unplug the tool, and
free the bladefrom the wood. The motor may
now be restarted and the cut finished.
4 Frequent “blowing” of fuses ortripping of circuit
breakersmayresult if:
a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED- Overloading can
occur if youfeed too rapidly.
b. LOWVOLTAGE - Although the motor is de-
signed for operation on the voltage and fre-
quency specified on the motor nameplate.
normal loads will behandled safely on voltages
not morethan 10%above or below the name-
plate voltage. Heavy loads, however, require
that voltage at motor terminals equals the
voltage specified on nameplate.
\a
6

5. Mostmotor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections,overload, reduced input
voltage (such as small size wire in the supply
circuit) or to overlylong supply circuit wire.
Always check the connections, the load and the
suppiy circuit whenever motor fails to perform
satisfactorily. Check wire size and length with
the Wire Size Chartbelow.
WIRE SIZES
The useof any extension cord will causesome loss
of power. To keepthis to a minimum and to prevent
overheatingand motor burn-out, usethetable below
to determine the minimum wire size (A,W.G.) exten-
sion cord. Use only 3-wire extensioncords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accepts the tools plug.

11. Install the wing nut on the threaded stud.
12. Checkthat the poly “V” belt is on both pulleys
being sure that it is centered on each pulley.
13. Check that the pulleysare in line by sighting
down the side of the large pulley to seeif it lines
up with the small pulley. If the pulleysare not in
line, loosenthe setscrewholding the pulley on

Belt tension is important. Over tensioning may
causevibration whiletoo little tension may allow’
