Page 4: Uncrating And Assembly
Remove four nuts and washers holding the bandsaw to the shipping crate bottom. Using the lifting ring located on the top of the saw, lift the bandsaw into it's permanent location. For best performance, the bandsaw should be bolted to the floor after a level position has been found. -
Page 5: Connecting To The Power Supply
All adjustments or repairs must be done with the machine disconnected from the power source. Failure to comply may result in serious injury! The VBS-2012 bandsaw is rated at 230/460V and comes from the factory prewired 230V. To switch to 460V operation, follow the wiring diagram found on the inside cover of the motor junction box. - Page 6 Digital Readout (F, Fig. 4) - located panel. Indicates blade speed in feet per minute: Note: after the saw is first started or the speed has been changed, allow a least a minute for the readout to stabilize to the new setting.

Page 9: Top Guide Adjustment
Top Guide Adjustment Always position the top guide to within an 1/8" of the top surface of the workpiece. This minimizes exposure of the operator's hands to the saw blade. Changing Saw Blades 1. Disconnect saw from the power source. -
Page 10: Blade Selection
Blade Selection Proper blade selection is just as important to band saw operation as is blade speed and material feed. Proper blade selection will impact blade life, straightness of cut, cut finish, and efficiency of operation. Excess blade breakage, stripping of teeth, and waviness of cut are some of the results of improper blade selection. - Page 11 Tooth Shape Note: When cutting thin materials, the rule for blade pitch is to have a minimum of two teeth engaging the material being cut at all times. Standard Tooth - generally used to cut ferrous metals, hard bronze, hard brass, and thin metals. Skip Tooth - have better chip clearance (larger gullet) and are used on softer, non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, and soft...

Page 12: Using The Blade Welder
General rules for blade selection: 1. Select coarser pitch blades for thicker or softer material. Select finer pitch blades for thinner or harder material. Use fine pitch blades to obtain a smooth finish. Use coarse pitch blades to obtain faster cutting speeds (thick material). -
Page 13: Welding
Welding it:, CAUTION The welder is designed for intermittent use. Repeated welding within a short period of time may cause the welder to overheat. Turn pressure switch (A, Figure 14) to the zero position. 2. Join blade ends together and locate union in the center between two electrodes. -
Page 14: Blade Grinding
Bi-Metal Blades 1. Heat the blade slowly by jogging the annealing switch button until the weld just begins to emit light (dull red color). The desired color may not always be visible in normal room light always shade the weld area. Cool the weld quickly by releasing the annealing button. -
Page 15: Lubrication Schedule
Lubrication Schedule 1. Upper Blade Guide Shaft - lightly grease weekly. Clean after every day's use. Speed Change Handle - grease monthly with a light film on teeth and threads. 3. Variable Pulley - found on end of pulley shaft. Lubricate fitting using a light weight grease. -
