ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has 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
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not com-
pletely understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged
plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or re-
place a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

HEAD LOCK PIN
The head locking pin (Fig. Q - 1) safely secures the head in the down position. To ensure the head does not unex-
pectedly spring up and tip the bandsaw over, this locking pin must be properly inserted when the band saw is not
in use or before moving it.
To use the head locking pin, fully lower the head down. Insert the locking pin through the holes in the head pivot
arm and base, locking the head into the down position (Fig. Q).

OPERATION
HORIZONTAL CUTTING (FIG. R)
Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock
to the same length. Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to ensure a
straight cut through the material.
Let the blade reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Never start a
cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece.
Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips are thin and powder-like,
increase your feed rate. If the chips are burned, reduce the blade speed.
Wait until the blade has completely stopped before removing the work-
piece from the vise. Avoid touching the cut ends, as they could be very hot.
VERTICAL CUTTING
Workpieces that cannot be properly supported or stabalized without a vise
should not be cut in the vertical position. Make sure that the vertical table
assembly is securely fastened to the band saw frame so it will adequately
support the workpiece.
Always keep your fingers away from the blade. Adjust the blade guides as
close as possible to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade move-
ment.
To assemble the bandsaw for vertical cutting:
1. Disconnect the bandsaw from the power supply.
2. Install the safety bracket (Fig. S - 1) and lock it into place with the pin
(Fig. S - 2) to keep the saw from falling. The bracket should catch on the
notch (Fig. S - 3).
3. Remove the two flathead screws (Fig. T - 1) and the blade guide cover
(Fig. T - 2).
4. Install the table (Fig. U - 1) and replace the two screws removed in Step
3 (Fig. U).
5. Install the table support (Fig. U - 2) with the preinstalled hex bolt, the flat
head screw and the hex nut.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off the machine and disconnect the power supply before conducting any maintenance work or
adjusting any settings.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
1. Raise the head of the bandsaw to a vertical position. Use the head locking pin to hold it in place, then remove
the wheel access cover.
2. Loosen the tension knob and slip the blade off of the wheels.
3. Install the new blade through both blade guide bearings and around the bottom wheel.
4. Hold the blade around the bottom wheel with one hand and slip it around the top wheel with the other hand,
keeping the blade between the blade guide bearings.
5. Tighten the tension knob so the blade will not slip on the wheels upon startup.
REPLACING THE OIL
If undergoing normal usage, replace the oil approximately once every year. The oil quantity is 90 mL. For profes-
sional or industrial use, replace more often. To access the oil, open the gearbox by removing the screws. Drain
the oil and replace it. Refer to exploded view for location of the gearbox.
The oil type used with your bandsaw is L-CKE220 (viscosity grade 220).
GENERAL MACHINE CARE
• Routinely check the condition of the power supply cords and replace them if they are broken, worn or if inter-
nal wires are showing.
• Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove chips and other debris from the machine.
• Always keep the machine hand grip clean to prevent accidental slipping during use.
• Remove the processing residues from the cutting area and the blade guides whenever necessary.
• If you do not intend to use the sawing machine for a long time, clean it and put it in a dry place if possible. In
these cases, it is advisable to make sure the blade stays slack so that it is not kept under tension during storage for
any reason.
• To ensure effective machine operation, check the condition of the blade daily. Sharpen it as necessary.
