Page 10: Assembly
Installing Fence and Rails 1. Mount the front rail (A, Figure 1) to the saw table with two 5/16 x 1-1/4 hex cap screws, two 5/16 lock washers, and two 5/16 flat washers. - Page 11 6. Attach the fence (D, Figure 2) to the fence body (E, Figure 2) with four 5/16 x 3/4 hex cap screws, four 5/16 lock washers, and four 5/16 flat washers. Hand tighten the screws only. 7. Place the fence assembly onto the guide rail and against the edge of the miter slot, as shown in Figure 2.

Page 12: Dust Collection
(minimum of 600 CFM). Attach the hose of the dust collector to the 4” dust port below the band saw table (Figure 6). Secure with a hose clamp or duct tape. NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for wood dust collection. -
Page 13: Extension Cords
Extension cords extension recommended for the 2013 or 2415 Band Saw. But if one is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. -
Page 14: Converting From 230 Volt To 460 Volt (Three Phase Only)
On the three-phase unit, after wiring has been completed, you should check that the wires have been connected properly: 1. Open lower front door of the Band Saw. 2. Connect machine to power source and press the start button, shown in Figure 28, for just an instant, then press the stop button. -
Page 15: Adjustments
3. Tighten the lever (Figure 10). NOTE: The lever, shown in Figure 10, can be pivoted so that it doesn’t contact the band saw surface. Simply lift straight out on the lever and rotate it on the pin, then release it making sure it seats itself on the pin. -
Page 16: Installing/Changing Blades
9. Position blade on the middle of the upper and lower wheels. 10. Replace table insert and set screw. 11. Before operating the band saw, the new blade must be tensioned and tracked properly. Find instructions for tensioning and tracking the blade under “Blade Tension”... -
Page 17: Blade Tracking
Keep in mind that too little or too much blade tension can cause blade breakage and/or poor cutting performance. TIP: When the band saw is not being used, slightly release the tension on the blade – this will prolong the blade’s life. Make a note of the specific tension setting for that particular blade, as shown on the gauge (D, Figure 14). -
Page 18: Upper Blade Guide Assembly
Upper Blade Guide Assembly 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Loosen lock knob (see B, Figure 14) and raise or lower upper blade guide assembly by turning the handwheel (C, Figure 14). 3. Position the blade guide assembly about 3/16”... -

12. Adjust the support bearing until it lightly contacts the dollar bill. 13. When support bearing complete, remove dollar bill and tighten nut (E, Figure 19). Lower Blade Guides and Lower Support Bearing 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Blade must already be tensioned and tracking properly. -
Page 20: Miter Gauge

Page 24: Blade Selection
3. Move the band saw fence out of the way, and carefully make a freehand cut along your drawn line on the board. Stop about midway on the board, and shut off the band saw (allow the blade to come to a complete stop) but do not allow the board to move. -
Page 25: Width
Width Band saw blades come in different standard widths, measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the tooth. Generally, wider blades are used for ripping or making straight cuts, such as resawing. Narrower blades are often used when the part being cut has curves with small radii. -
Page 26: Set
The term “set” refers to the way in which the saw teeth are bent or positioned. Bending the teeth creates a kerf that is wider than the back of the blade. Set patterns are usually selected depending upon the type of material that needs to be cut. -
Page 27: Maintenance
Unlike rubber tires for many older model band saws, the tires for the 2013 and 2415 will not require trimming, equalizing, etc., nor do they require an adhesive. Rather, they ready installation. -
Page 28: Blade Selection Guide
Follow the curve to where the approximate blade width is specified. If a radius falls between two of the curves, select the widest blade that will saw this radius. This procedure should be used for making initial blade selections. These recommendations can, of course, be adjusted to meet specific requirements of a cutting job. -
Page 29: Troubleshooting - Operational Problems
Table vibration while sawing. Incorrect blade speed. Drive belt is too slack. Incorrect choice of saw blade pitch. Saw dust or debris on band wheel. Or tire is worn/damaged. Support bearing(s) are worn. Saw blade speed is too low. Surface finish on workpiece is rough. - Page 30 Increase feed pressure. Increase feed pressure and cutting rate. Re-examine material. Select proper blade from the chart (page 28). Stop the saw and remove lodged particle. Replace blade if damaged. Correct accordingly. Select narrower blade. See chart on page 28.
