5. Stability of Machine

Your band saw must be bolted securely to a stand or work bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the band saw to tip over or move during certain operations such as cutting long heavy boards, bolt your bandsaw to the floor.

6. Location
The band saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the blade. This band saw is intended for indoor use only.

7. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation. Do not wear gloves.., roll long sleeves above the elbow.
b. Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by hand.

c. Avoid awkv_ard hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade or the sanding belt.

d. Never turn your band saw "ON" before clearing the table of all Objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except for the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.

e. Make sure the blade runs downward toward the table

in the right direction. Always adjust tracking wheel

correctly wheels.

so that the blade does not run off the

f. Always adjust tension correctly sanding belt being used...

for the blade or

g. Always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the workpiece to protect the operator, to keep blade breakage to a minimum, and to provide maximum support for blade.

h. When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is supported at table height.

i. Hold the work firmly against the table. DO NOT FREEHAND

Do not feed the material too fast while cutting, Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade wiil cut, Keep fingers away from the blade,

k. Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in cross section which could pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of molding for example must lay fiat on the table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.

Use caution when cutting off round material such as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being cut causing the blade to "bite". Always use a "V" block, or clamp round material to a miter gauge.

m. When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut} . . . this is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf or because the blade comes out of the guides. If this happens:

1. Turn off the band saw . . . remove plug from povver source outlet . . . remove cover from
band saw. Insert a screwdriver or wedge in the kerf . . . rotate the wheels by hand while backing up the workpiece.

n. Never leave the band saw work area with the power on, before the machine has come to a complete stop, or without removing and storing the switch key.

o. Never operate the band saw with frame cover or with protective cover on the unused shaft end of the motor removed.

p, Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

q. Turn saw "OFF"
before installing attachment.

and remove or removing

8. Should any part of this band saw be missing, or bend, or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off power switch, and remove power supply cord from power supply. Replace damaged, missing, and/or failed parts before resuming operation.
g. Think Safety.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness whenever the band saw/sander is n operation.

additional safety instructions for band saw/sander

WARNING: THE 5" BAND SAW PULLEY AND THE 2-I/2" MOTOR PULLEY FURNISHED, WILL RUN THE BLADE AT APPROXIMATELY 900 RPM (OR 2700 FEET PER MINUTE) WHEN USED WiTH A 1725 RP_ MOTOR. NEVER SUBSTITUTE THESE PULLEYS TO iNCREASE THIS SPEED BECAUSE IT COULD BE DAN-
GEROUS.

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMiLIARiTY (GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR BAND SAW) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND iS SUFFICIENT TO iNFLICT SEVERE iNJURY.

WEAR YOUR

The operation of any power tOOl can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye aamage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSi Z87.1 (shewn on Package} before commencing power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears

CAUTION: Do not use blower or washing machine motor_ or any motor with an automatic reset overload protector, as their use may be hazardous.

CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay or Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit breaker.

If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded, have it check by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH THE

TERMINALS

OF PLUGS WHEN iNSTALLING

OR RE-

MOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET.

WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS

POWER TOOL CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK

PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS

CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK

OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL

OF A

SECONDARY

HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced irnmediate!v.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts it has a plug that looks like below.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a propedy grounded 2-prong receptacle. Adapter is not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension co_d. Use
only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug.

CHECK MOTOR ROTATION

Before checking motor rotation make sure key is removed

from shaft. Place the motor on your workbench or on the

floor. Standing clear of the shaft, plug the cord into a

properly grounded outlet. Notice rotation of the shaft. If

motor is not turning counterclockwise,

remove the plug and

contact your Sears store immediately, tf motor turns counter-

clockwise remove the plug and proceed on with the

OR LUBRICATING

YOUR BAND SAW,

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Pitch and sawdust that accumulate on the tires should be removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of wood. Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.

When the tires become worn they should be replaced. When replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels butdo not glue them onto the wheels.

Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, the insert, the guides or the thrust bearings. Clean them with Craftsman Gum and Pitch Remover. CAUTION: Do not immerse the thrust bearings.

Apply a thin coat of automobile-type

wax on the table so that

the wood slides easily while cutting.

example, a reduction of 10% in voltage causes a reduchon of 19% in
maximum power output of which the motor is
capable, and a reduction of 20% in voltage causes a reduction of 36% in maximum power output.)
