The bandsaw is one of the most versatile cutting
tools in the shop and is capable of the following
cuts:
• Miters and Angles
• Compound Angles
• Resaw Cuts
• Rip and Crosscuts
• Curves and Circles
• Stacked Cuts for Duplicate Parts
The blade is a flexible steel band with teeth on
one edge that fits around two aligned wheels
with slightly crowned rubber tires, which help
the blade track in the center of the wheels
during operation.
One wheel stays in a fixed position and is driven
by a motor. The other wheel spins freely and is
adjustable toward or away from the fixed wheel,
which controls the tension of the installed blade.
This wheel also features a tracking control that
allows the wheel to tilt forward or backward
to adjust how the blade rides on the wheel.
The rotation of both wheels pulls the blade
downward toward the table.
When a workpiece is pushed against the moving
blade, the downward force of the blade teeth
scrape across the workpiece and cut it. Blade
guides on both sides of the cutting area keep
the blade from flexing or being pushed off the
wheels from the horizontal pressure of the
workpiece while cutting.
Since the purpose of the blade guides is to
provide support while cutting, they should be
as close as possible to the blade; however, the
blade guides should only touch the blade while a
workpiece is being cut, or the constant friction
will reduce the life of the blade. Also the upper
blade guide assembly should be adjusted as
close as possible to the workpiece to provide
maximum support and safely cover any unused
area of the blade with the blade guard.
Also, a foot brake can be used to cut power to
the motor, quickly bringing the blade to a halt.

9C8;<:FE;@K@FE% Do not operate with dull,
cracked or badly worn blade. Dull blades
require more effort to perform the cut, and
they increase the risk of kickback. Inspect
blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use.
9C8;<I<GC8:<D<EK% To avoid mishaps that
could result in operator injury, make sure the
blade teeth face down toward the table and
the blade is properly tensioned and tracked
before operating.
JD8CCNFIBG@<:<?8E;C@E>% Always support/
feed small or narrow workpieces with a push
stick, jig, vise, or some type of clamping
fixture. Supporting these types of workpieces
by hand requires you to get closer to the
blade, which increases your risk of serious
personal injury.
9C8;<JG<<;% Always allow the blade to come
to full speed before starting the cut. Moving
the workpiece against a blade that is not at
full speed could cause the blade to grab the
workpiece and draw the operator's hands
into the blade.
NFIBG@<:<JLGGFIK% If the workpiece should
unexpectedly twist during cutting, it could
kickback or draw the operator's hands into
the blade. Always keep the workpiece flat
and firm against the table when cutting. If
necessary, use a jig or other work-holding
device.
9C8;<JLGGFIK% The blade tension and guide/
support bearings keep the blade straight
when cutting. Always keep the blade tension
and guide thrust bearings properly adjusted
and positioned to reduce the risk of the
blade bending or breaking with the forces of
the cutting operation.
:LKK@E>K<:?E@HL<J% Plan your operation so
the blade always cuts to the outside of the
workpiece. DO NOT back the workpiece away
from the blade while the saw is running, which
could cause kickback and personal injuries. If
you need to back the workpiece out, turn the
bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop. DO NOT twist or put excessive
stress on the blade that could damage it.
?8E;GC8:<D<EK% Never position fingers or hands
in line with the blade. If the workpiece or your
hands slip, serious personal injury could occur.
=<<;I8K<% To avoid the risk of the workpiece
slipping and causing operator injury, always feed
stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist
the blade while cutting, especially when sawing
small curves.
NFIBG@<:<D8K<I@8C% This machine is intended
for cutting natural and man-made wood products,
and laminate covered wood products. This
machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass,
stone, tile, etc. Doing so may increase the risk of
blade breakage or machine damage.
9C8;<:FEKIFC% To avoid serious personal injury,
DO NOT attempt to stop or slow the blade with
your hand or the workpiece. Allow the blade to
stop on its own.
LGG<I9C8;<>L@;<JLGGFIK% To reduce the
exposure of the operator to the blade and
provide maximum support for the blade, keep
the upper blade support and guide bearings
adjusted to just clear the workpiece.

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one. Grounding Prong

To prevent corrosion during shipment and storage of your
machine, the factory has coated the bare metal surfaces
of your machine with a heavy-duty rust prevention
compound.
If you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can
be difficult to remove. To ensure that the removal of this
coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct
cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:
• Cleaner/degreaser designed to remove storage wax
and grease
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Solvent brush or paint brush
• Disposable Rags

*% Using a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreaser,
Coat all surfaces that have the coating, and let soak
for few minutes.
+% Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
K`g1 To clean off thick coats of the rust preventative
compound on flat surfaces, use a PLASTIC paint
scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating
before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a
metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)
,% Repeat the cleaning steps as necessary until all of
the compound is removed.

Refer to the DXZ_`e\Jg\Z`]`ZXk`fej for the
weight of your machine. Make sure that the
surface upon which the machine is placed will
bear the weight of the machine, additional
equipment that may be installed on the
machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will
be used. Additionally, consider the weight of
the operator and any dynamic loading that may
occur when operating the machine.
JgXZ\8ccfZXk`fe
Consider the largest size of workpiece that
will be processed through this machine and
provide enough space around the machine
for adequate operator material handling or
the installation of auxiliary equipment. With
permanent installations, leave enough space
around the machine to open or remove doors/
covers as required by the maintenance and
service described in this manual. J\\Y\cfn]fi

The physical environment where your machine is
operated is important for safe operation and the
longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment
that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous
chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme
conditions. Extreme conditions for this type
of machinery are generally those where the
ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;
the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95%
(non-condensing); or the environment is subject
to vibration, shocks, or bumps.
<c\Zki`ZXc@ejkXccXk`fe
Place this machine near an existing power
source. Make sure all power cords are protected
from traffic, material handling, moisture,
chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave
access to a means of disconnecting the power
source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.
C`^_k`e^
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed
safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that
may distract or impede the operator must be
eliminated.

Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional
step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt
your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.
Both options are described below. Whichever option you
choose it will be necessary to use a precision level to
level your machine.

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs
(=`^li\.) are two popular methods for anchoring an
object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the
many options and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific application.

Using machine mounts, shown in =`^li\/, gives the
advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduction. The
large size of the foot pads distributes the weight of the
machine to reduce strain on the floor.
