Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints. 
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring. Extension
cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a
voltage drop over the extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the pos-
sibility of causing damage to the motor. Using extension cords with smaller than the rec-
ommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See

be grounded in order prevent
possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or breakdown.
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reducing the
risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service
and not used if other power tools on the same circuit are in use.
This band saw is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug.

Visually inspect the
blade wheels to ensure the blade is properly positioned in the guides. If the
vibration still exists, check the bearings and the motor shaft and repair or
replace them as soon as possible. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe
damage to both the workpiece and the band saw. DISCONNECT AC POWER
BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BLADE ARE MADE.

The tool table should be tight-
ened and placed at the proper angle for the cutting job before the band saw is
put into use. If not properly adjusted, the workpiece can unexpectedly move
causing the abrasive wheel to seize resulting in damage to it or possible severe
injury to the operator.

The band saw is shipped partly disassembled.
Assembly consists of attaching the table, table insert, rip fence and miter gauge.
Both the work table and rip fence must be installed prior to use. Assembly should
take 10-15 minutes.
Required tools: The following tools are required: 4 mm Hex key (supplied), 3 mm
Hex key (supplied) and open-end wrench (supplied).

1. Remove the bracket from
below the work table by first
loosening the two knobs.
2. Remove the two knobs, 
bracket and screws.
3. Place the work table on the
table trunnion by threading
the saw blade through the slot
in the table.
4. Insert the table insert in the
center of the table.
5. Align the work table so that
the blade runs though the 
center of the table insert’s
slot.
6. Fasten the work table to the table trunnion using the three recessed hex bolts,
plain washers and nuts. Caution: make sure the screws are tightened securely
to ensure they do not loosen in use. Failure to do so can change the saw’s per-
formance.
7. Replace the bracket under the work table using the two screws and two thumb nuts.
It may be necessary to rotate the handle counter-
clockwise to be able to slide the rip fence over the table and then clock-
wise before locking the handle in position.

The band saw has four predrilled holes in the base for mounting to a workbench. It
is best to attach the band saw to a firm, stable surface at a convenient working
height. A workbench is ideal.
1. Drill four holes in the workbench to match the four holes in the base of the saw.
2. Attach the band saw to the work bench using bolts (inserted from the top), lock
washers and nuts.

The upper blade consists of a thrust bearing that supports the band saw blade from
the rear and two guide bearings that provide lateral adjustment. These guide bear-
ings need to be adjusted after every band saw change or any tracking adjustment.
The upper blade guide protects against unintentional contact with the saw blade.
For the upper blade guide to provide adequate protection against contact with the
band saw blade, it must always be set as close as possible against the work piece
(maximum distance 1/8 inch).

The lower blade guide has a thrust bearing that supports the band saw blade from
the rear and two guide bearings that provide lateral adjustment. These guide bear-
ings need to be adjusted after every band saw change or any tracking adjustment. 
1. Tilt the work table 45 degrees to give access to the adjustment screws.
2. To adjust the thrust bearing, loosen 
the thrust bearing locking screw with
the Allen wrench.
3. Adjust the bearing position until it is
1/32-inch from the band saw blade.
When adjusted correctly the band saw
blade, when turned by hand, will not
contact the thrust bearing.
4. Tighten the thrust bearing locking
screw.
5. Open the lower housing door to 
access the two screws that hold the
guide pins in place. Then, with the
table trunnion level, adjust the guide
pins by loosening the screws with the
Allen key.NOTE: The right guide pin is accessed 
through the slot in the lower housing.
6. Press the guide pins together against the
band saw blade.
7. Turn the band saw wheel by hand several
times in a clockwise direction to bring the
guide pins into the correct position. Both
guide pins should just touch the saw blade.
8. Tighten the guide pin locking screws.
9. Rotate the band wheel one or two times by
hand to ensure that the blade is not pinched.
