INSTALL V-BELT (METAL CUTTING)
Refer to Figures 6, 7 and 11.
•
Band saw uses a step-pulley drive system to provide
a selection of blade speeds for metal cutting.
•
Loosen knob (Figure 7, Key No. 14). Place V-belt
(Figure 11, Key No. 25) on idler pulley and motor
pulley (Figure 11, Key Nos. 23 and 26) with V-belt in
desired location on pulleys. (See Figure 6, Blade
Speeds, page 8.)
•
Do not over tighten V-belts. Excessive tension on V-
belt will reduce life of belt. Belt is properly tensioned
when light pressure applied to midpoint of the belt
produces about ½" deflection.
•
Tension V-belt by pushing down on motor mount
plate and tightening hex head bolt and hex nut.
MOUNT
SAW TO FLOOR
•
If saw is not properly positioned on a flat surface, it
may develop excessive vibration.
•
Mount to a flat, level surface through holes on top of
base.
Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5.
MOTOR
The 115 Volt AC motor has the following specifications:
Horsepower (Maximum Developed) .............
11/2
Voltage ...............................
115/230
Amps ..................................
9.6/4.8
Hertz .....................................
60
Phase ..................................

POWER SOURCE
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safe-
ly on voltages not more than 10% above or below the
specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the
range may cause overheating and motor burn-out.
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor terminals
be no less than the voltage specified. Power supply to
the motor is controlled by a double pole locking rocker
switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instruc-
tions are not understood or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3 conductor
cord rated at 150V and a three prong grounding type
plug for your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a prop-
erly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type
receptacle, as shown (Figure 3).
Properly Grounded Outlet
Grounding Prong
3-Prong Plug
Figure 3 - 3-Prong Receptacle
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it
will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or
green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National Electric
Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a quali-
fied electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 4) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

Figure 4 - 2-Prong Receptacle with Adapter
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and ordi-
nances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not
permitted in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green
tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be
securely connected to a permanent electrical ground
such as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
