II. Safety Rules for all Tools 1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as its hazards. 2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. 3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground.

Review all safety procedures often. These safety rules, while expansive, may not cover every situation. Please consider your unique conditions when setting up and using your saw. TURN More safety rules are reviewed in Section Hunter’s Meat Cutting Bandsaw INFLUENCE...
III. Electrical Service Requirements When placing the bandsaw in your work area, three considerations should be addressed; electrical service requirements, working clear- ances, and lighting and outlets. We’ll look at the first consideration now and leave the other two for the next section. A.
If you need advice regarding this situation, please call us immediately. Caution: The meat cutting saw is a HEAVY machine (106 lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine –...
VI. Piece Inventory With all the parts removed from the container, you should have: • Bandsaw Unit with Blade • Motor • Motor Pulley • V-Belt • Table • Fence • Column Guard • Blade Guard • Table & Guard Knobs (13) •...
page of 5 page section A. Stand Note: All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is removed at the factory. Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing might escape inspection. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts before handling them.
Re-tighten the bolts. C. Bandsaw Unit 1. Lift the bandsaw onto the stand. The front of the saw must be on the same side as the switch. 2. Attach the bandsaw to the stand with the three (3) threaded studs. Screw them up through the stand top and into the welded nuts on the base of the bandsaw.
page of 5 page section D. Pulleys and V-Belt Pulley alignment and proper V-Belt tension are crucial to increased belt life and optimal power transmission from motor to blade. The motor pulley should already be centered under the slot in the stand top. Shift the driven pulley so it lines up with the motor pulley.
VII. Assembly E. Table Before installing the table and guards, peel off the blue, protective plastic. Slide the table on at a 45° angle. Figure 6. Lower the table so the notch goes around the column. When it is in its final position, secure it to the bandsaw body using the black knobs provided.
To install the meat grinder (Figure 8): 1. Loosen the mounting bolt at the base of the meat grinder. 2. Line up the tang on the saw with the slot on the grinder (similar to a flat head screwdriver and a screw).
This will act as a supplementary lock. If the tension seems correct, make the other adjustments to the saw and test run it. If the blade does not cut properly, the tension may " with mod- be incorrect. Re-adjust tension.
Also, blade life will be extended and your cuts will be more predictable. To CHECK tracking: 1. Turn the power off and unplug the saw. 2. Spin the wheels through several com- plete rotations. Watch the position of the blade on the wheels.
VIII. Adjustments C. Guide Blocks The guide blocks ensure that the blade is not pushed too far laterally. The upper guide To adjust the upper guide blocks (Figure 13): 1. Check the position of the guide blocks in relation to the blade. They should be approximately "...
page of 5 page section D. Support Bearings The support bearings back-up the blade dur- ing sawing. The upper support bearing is To adjust the upper support bearing (Figure 13): 1. Loosen the thumbscrew securing the upper support bearing shaft. 2.
Section VIII.A. Check tracking as well. See Section VIII.B. The teeth must point toward the front of the saw and downward. If you cannot ori- ent the blade so the teeth are in the cutting position, the blade is inside out. Remove the blade, twist it inside out, and replace it.
All safety equip- ment must be ANSI approved. 3. NEVER attempt to operate your band- saw with dull or badly worn blades. Dull blades require more effort to use and are difficult to control. Cracked blades will snap and flail dangerously in the saw dur- ing operation.
1. Completely assemble the bandsaw and perform all adjustment procedures. 2. Check that all fasteners are tight. 3. Make sure that the saw is properly wired for the voltage you intend to use. 4. Turn on the machine. Be ready to turn it off immediately if there is any sign of mal- function.
Do not forget to clean the blade. Soap is cheap, lather it up. 6. Rinse the saw off with the hose and dry it. Some parts, such as the blade, will rust if not dried completely. Wiping the blade with vegetable oil will help to retard rust.
XII. Maintenance Since the moving parts on this machine run on shielded ball bearings, you will find that there is very little in the line of routine mainte- nance outside of cleaning (See Section XI). However, “little maintenance” does not imply “no maintenance."...
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE Motor will not start. Low voltage. Open circuit in motor or loose connections. Worn or defective switch. Faulty starting capacitor. Centrifugal switch out of adjust- ment. Motor will not start; fuses or Short circuit in line cord or plug. circuit breakers blow.
