the portion of table which is to right of blade and
before cut.
Cut small corners by sawing around them. Saw to
remove scrap until desired shape is obtained.
BEVEL CUTTING
Refer to Figure 10.
• Perform bevel cutting by tilting table to desired
degree.
• Unlock table by loosening locking handle located on
the backside of the unit (Key No. 14).
• Tilt table to desired position by rotating knob
(Key No. 18).
• Lock table in position by tightening locking handle.
MITER GAUGE
= Use miter gauge for securing and holding workpiece
at desired angle to produce angled cuts. Use scale
to adjust gauge to desired angle.
WARNING: Never use miter gauge and rip fence at
the same time. The blade might bind in the workpiece.
Operator could be injured and/or workpiece could be
damaged.
BLADE CLEANING BRUSH
Refer to Figure 10.
• Make sure that brush (Key No. 57) is in contact with
blade to properly remove foreign particles from drive
wheel.
WARNING: Make certain that unit is disconnected
from power source before attempting to service or
remove any component.
CLEANING
• Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow
sawdust to accumulate on band saw.
• Keep wheels clean. Debris on wheels will cause
poor tracking and blade slippage.
• Keep mechanisms and threaded or sliding surfaces
clean and free of foreign particles.
• Operate band saw with a dust collector to minimize
clean up.
LUBRICATION
• The shielded ball bearings are permanently lubricat-
ed and require no further lubrication.
• Small amounts of machine oil can be applied to belt
tension mechanisms and threaded or sliding sur-
faces.
• Occasionally apply a coat of paste wax to table top
to keep it slick and corrosion free.
KEEP BAND SAW IN REPAIR
• If power cord is worn or cut in any way, have it
replaced.
• Replace any damaged or missing part.
• Use parts list to order parts.
