Safety Lock-Out Switch; Foot Brake; Connecting To A Power Source; Tilting The Table - General International 90-290 Setup & Operation Manual

SAFETY LOCK-OUT SWITCH

To prevent unauthorized use, this bandsaw is also equipped
with a safety lock-out switch with removable key, D, located at
the front of the machine, on the control panel, A.
When this switch is locked, the machine cannot be started by
pressing on the green "on" button B. To start the saw, set the
power lock-out switch to the "on" position; the "power in" indi-
cator light E will illuminate.
SET THE LOCK-OUT SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION
AND STORE THE KEYS IN A SAFE PLACE, OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN, WHENEVER THE BANDSAW IS
NOT IN USE.

FOOT BRAKE

For quick blade stoppage and emergency shut-off, this band-
saw is equipped with a foot brake located at the bottom
right of the machine. This safety foot brake simultaneously
slows down the blade and disconnects electrical circuit to
the motor.
Notice – The foot brake is not designed to function as the primary
stop mechanism of this saw.
The foot brake should be used for emergency situations or any
time it is necessary to immobilize the blade quicker than normal.
Under normal working conditions the red stop button should be
used as the primary stop mechanism. Continuously using the foot
brake as the primary stop mechanism will lead to premature wear
of the brake.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK OR FIRE DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE UNIT WITH A DAMAGED POWER CORD OR PLUG.
REPLACE DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY.
TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNINTENTIONAL START-UP,
MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF
POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE.
Refer back to section "Electrical Requirements" and make
sure all requirements and grounding instructions are followed.
Once the assembly has been completed, plug the power
cord into an appropriate outlet.
When you have finished using the machine be sure to unplug
the bandsaw from the power source.

TILTING THE TABLE

The table can be tilted to any angle from 0° to 45° to the right
to allow for any type of bevel (or angle) cutting.
Refer to the table tilt angle indicator A located under the
bandsaw table, to set the angle of the table to the desired
position.
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, MAKE SURE THAT
THE SWITCH IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION AND THAT THE
POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED.
