ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE BAND SAW TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ENTIRE OWNERS MANUAL. ASSEMBLING STAND AND RUBBER FEET 1. Assemble the stand, as shown in Fig. 3, using the 32 carriage bolts, flat washers and nuts supplied.
3. Using the two 45mm (approximately 1-3/4" long) screws (E) Fig. 6, and flat washers supplied, fasten the band saw to the stand by threading the two screws (E) into the tapped holes in bottom of saw as shown. Fig. 6 4.
3. Replace screw (A) Fig. 10, flat washer (B) and wing nut (C) that was removed in STEP 1. Fig. 10 ASSEMBLING UPPER BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY 1. Fasten the upper blade guide assembly (A) Fig. 11, to the side of the band saw using the lock plate (B) and lock screw (C) as shown.
CONNECTING BAND SAW TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp fuse. Have a certified electrician replace or repair a worn cord immediately.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING SAW The switch (A) Fig. 15, is located on the front side of the band saw. To turn the saw “ON” move the switch (A) to the up position. To turn the saw “OFF” move the switch (A) to the down position.
TRACKING THE BLADE For accurate work and maximum blade life, it is important that the blade be centered on the upper band saw wheel. When this adjustment is properly made, the blade will “track”, that is, it will run steady in the same line.
ADJUSTING UPPER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING Fig. 21 Fig. 22 The blade guides must be properly adjusted to prevent the blade from twisting during operation. The upper blade guides and blade support bearing should be adjusted only after the blade is tensioned and tracking properly.
ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUIDES AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING Fig. 23 Fig. 24 The lower blade guides and blade support bearing should be adjusted at the same time as the upper guides and bearing as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
TILTING THE TABLE 1. The table can be tilted 45 degrees to the right and approximately 3 degrees to the left. To tilt the table, loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 25, tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten lock handle (A). NOTE: The table lock handle (A) can be repositioned by pulling out on the handle and repositioning it on the nut located underneath the hub of the handle.
CHANGING BLADES To change blades, proceed as follows: 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE. 2. Open upper and lower wheel guards (A) Fig. 28. 3. Release tension on the band saw blade by turning tension knob (B) Fig. 28, counter-clockwise. 4.
BLADE BRUSHES Two blade brushes (A) and (B) Fig. 31, are provided to keep the blade and tires clean and free of any build-up of chips. Brush (A) cleans the tire and brush (B) cleans the blade. Adjustment of the brushes can be made by loosening the mounting hardware and adjusting the brushes accordingly.
