6.5 Coolant tank preparation
Use of a water-soluble coolant will increase cutting
efficiency and prolong blade life. Do not use black
cutting oil as a substitute. Change coolant often and
follow manufacturer's instructions as to its uses and
precautions.
1.
Disconnect machine from power source.
2.
Pour coolant into hole through strainer cup. Fill
tank to approximately 80% of capacity.
3.
Make sure coolant hose is properly connected
at each end, and return hose is connected to
drain hole and positioned in strainer cup, as
shown in Figure 6-10.
7.0 Electrical connections
The HVBS-712V and HVBS-712DV Band Saw is
rated at 115V power. The band saw comes with a
plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded
outlet that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 7-
1.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the band saw be connected
to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time delay fuse marked "D". Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having 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 qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
7-1. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. Note: In Canada, the
use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.

7.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position machines near the power source. If an
extension cord is necessary, make sure it 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.
