Machine Tools OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2 Grounding Instructions
Do not modify the plug provided-if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3 Volt Operation
3.1 115 Volt Operation
As received, your tool is ready to run for 115 volt
operation. This tool, when wired for 115 volts, is
intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug that looks like the one shown in
Fig.1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Fig.2. may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as
shown in Fig.2, if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician. THIS
ADAPTER IS NOT APPLICABLE IN CANADA.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box, as shown in Fig.2.

3.2 Volt Operation
1. Finish uncrating the saw. Inspect it for shipping damage. If any damage has
occurred, contact your distributor
2. Unbolt the saw from the skid and place it on a level surface
3. Clean rust protected surfaces with kerosene, diesel oil, or a mild solvent. Do
not use cellulose based solvents such as paint thinner or lacquer thinner.
These will damage painted surfaces.
5 Assembly
1. Place blocking under the ends of the saw base to allow stand installation.
Caution: Make sure saw is steady while temporarily supported
3. Slide wheels onto axle and fasten with pins. Bend pins to hold in place
4. Slide material stop bar into base and secure by tightening bolt slide material
stop onto bar and tighten bolt
5. Remove transportation strap and keep for later use should the saw be moved
any distance
6 Starting saw
Caution: Never operate saw without blade guards in place
Be sure the blade is not in contact with the work when the motor is started. Start the
motor, allow the saw to come to full speed, then begin the cut by lefting the head
down slowly onto the work
DO NOT DROP OR FORCE. Let the weight of the saw head provide the cutting
force. The saw automatically shuts off at the end of the cut.
7 Blade selection
A general-use high speed steel blade is furnished with the metal Cutting Band Saw.
Additional blades in 4,6,8, and 10 tooth sizes are available. The choices of blade
pitch is governed by the thickness of the work to be cut; the thinner the workpiece,
the more teeth advised. A minimum of three (3) teeth should engage the workpiece
at all times for proper cutting. If the teeth of the blade are so far apart that they
straddle the work, servere damage to the workpiece and to the blade can result
Warning!
11 Electric Box
1. Emergency Stop Button-depress to stop all
machine function immediately
2. Coolant Switch-turn arrow to “I” to turn on
flow of coolant. Turn arrow to “O” to stop flow
of coolant
3. Start Button – depress to start band saw
4. Stop Button – depress to stop band saw
12 Changing Blade Speed
To set speed for 1 or 3 position
Warning!
Blade tension is important to the proper operation of the saw. Proper blade tension
is 22,000 to 25,000 lbs per square inch as measured on a blade tension gauge.
To set the blade tension without the use if a blade tension gauge:
1. Install blade between wheel and insert blade between bearings on blade
guides
2. Tension blade slightly to remove any sag in blade between blade wheels
3. Turn blade tension knob (A, Fig. 7) one and three quarter to two revolutions
clockwise. This equals approximately 23,000 lbs of blade tension
Caution!
Do not over tighten blade. This may cause
blade to stretch and warp
Blade tracking adjustment requires running the saw with the back cover open. This
adjustment must be completed by qualified persons only!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Note: Before making any tracking adjustments, try a new blade. Warped blades will
not track
Blade tracking has been set at the factory and should not require adjustment. If a
tracking problem occurs, adjust the machine as follows:
1. Move saw arm to the vertical position and lock in place by turning off the
hydraulic cylinder valve
2. Confirm that blade tension is set properly. To adjust, see section titled
“Adjusting Blade Tension”
3. Open back cover by loosening lock screws
4. Run saw and observe blade. Blade should run next to but not tightly against
wheel flange
5. Loosen bolts (A, Fig. 8)
6. Turn set screw (B) while observing blade tracking on wheel. Turn set screw
clockwise to track blade closer to the wheel flange. Turn set screw counter-
clockwise to track blade away from the wheel flange
7. Once tracking is set, tighten bolts (A)
16 Cutting Angles Adjustment
1. Loosen handle knob (No. 1) in figure 9
2. Pull licking knob (No.3 in figure 10) a little and turn about ¼ to release the
lock. Rotate the upper assembly along the miter scale (No. 2) in figure 10 to
desired cutting angle. This saw allows cutting angle from 0 to 45 degree and
hast settings at 4 points (0/15/30 and 45 degree)
3. Tighten handle knob
19 Change blades
Warning!
Never operate this saw unless all blade
Guards are installed and in proper working order!
Never adjust blade brush while machine is running!
Failure to comply may cause serous injury!
Caution!
This machine is designed and intended for
Use with blades that are 19 mm wide by
0.9 mm thick by 2360 mm long.
Use of blades with different specifications may cause inferior performance
Warning!
It´s essential this guard be installed after
The new blade has been fitted!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
