proceed 
with 
the 
following
steps. 
See 
Figure

1. 
Press 
the 
blade 
lightly 
with 
the 
left 
hand. 
2. 
Make 
sure 
the 
rear 
portion 
of 
the 
blade 
is against
the 
flange 
of 
the 
blade 
wheel.
3. 
Test 
the 
blade

The 
blade 
should 
press
inward 
approximately 
0.04 
(1mm).

BLADE 
TRACKING
The 
blade 
tracking 
has 
been 
set 
and 
tested 
at 
the 
factor
y. The 
adjustment 
of 
the
blade 
tracking 
is relatively 
rare 
if the 
band 
saw 
is used 
correctly 
and 
properly 
main-
tained.Should 
the 
blade 
tracking 
go 
out 
of 
adjustment, 
the
blade 
will 
leave 
the 
wheel 
and 
cause 
severe 
damage 
to
the 
band 
saw
. If the 
blade 
breaks, 
damage 
to 
band 
saw
and 
possible 
several 
injuries 
to the 
operator 
could 
occur
.
The 
following 
steps 
should 
be 
used 
to 
adjust 
the 
blade
tracking. 
See

Band 
saw 
can 
be 
operated 
in 
two 
modes: 
horizontal
cutting 
and 
vertical 
cutting. 
The 
horizontal 
cutting 
is for 
larger 
or 
thicker 
workpieces
while 
the 
vertical 
cutting 
table 
is generally 
used 
for 
smaller 
lightweight 
workpieces
or 
workpieces 
requiring 
bevel 
cuts. 
See 
Pages

will 
line 
up 
with 
the

Turn 
the

Disconnect 
the 
band 
saw 
from 
the 
AC

before 
make
any 
adjustments 
or 
changing 
blade 
speed.
The 
feed 
rate 
of 
the 
metal

band 
saw 
controls 
how 
the 
fast 
the 
blade 
is
pushed 
through 
the 
workpiece. 
Excessive 
feed 
pressure 
can 
bind 
or 
break 
the
blade. 
Insufficient 
feed 
pressure 
can 
cause 
the 
blade 
to 
become 
prematurely 
dull.
Adjust 
the 
feed 
rate 
of 
the 
band 
saw 
as
follows. 1. 
Turn 
the 
control 
arm 
located 
on 
the
motor
-side 
of 
the

CUTTING
To set 
up 
the 
metal 
cutting 
band 
saw 
for 
horizontal 
cutting, 
proceed 
as 
follows. 
See
Figure 
13 
and 
14. 
Setting 
the 
Band 
saw 
for 
Horizontal 
Cutting.
1. 
Raise 
the 
saw 
head 
to 
the 
vertical 
position.
2. 
Open 
the 
vise 
wide 
enough 
to
accept 
the 
workpiece 
by 
turn-
ing 
the 
adjustment 
wheel 
at the
front 
end 
of 
the 
saw 
base
counter
clockwise.
3. 
Place 
the 
workpiece 
into 
the
vise. 
If the 
workpiece 
is too
long 
or 
the 
trailing 
end 
wants
to 
drop 
downward, 
support 
it
with 
a stand. 
The 
workpiece
must 
be 
level 
in the 
vise 
for
proper 
cuts.
4. 
If a specific 
length 
is to 
be 
cut
off 
or 
if multiple 
pieces 
are 
to
be 
cut 
the 
same 
length, 
set 
the
stop 
to 
the 
side 
of 
the 
vise 
and
tighten 
the 
setscrew
.
5. 
Tighten 
the 
workpiece 
securely 
in the 
vise 
by 
turning 
the 
adjustment 
wheel 
at
the 
front 
end 
of 
the 
saw 
base 
clockwise.
6. 
Turn 
ON 
the 
band 
saw
.Do 
not 
attempt 
to 
hold 
the 
workpiece 
with 
hands 
during
cutting 
operations. 
This 
could 
cause 
the 
blade 
to 
bind 
or 
even 
break 
result-
ing 
in 
severe 
damage 
to 
the 
band 
saw 
and 
possibly 
severe 
injuries 
to 
the
operator
.
7. 
Grip 
handle 
on 
front 
end 
of 
saw 
head 
and 
slowly 
lower 
the 
band 
saw 
blade 
into
the 
workpiece. 
DO 
NOT 
DROP 
the 
blade 
against 
the 
workpiece. 
The 
weight 
of
the 
saw 
head 
will 
do 
the 
cutting.
8. 
The 
band 
saw 
will 
automatically 
turn 
off 
when 
the 
cut 
is finished.
9. 
The 
vise 
can 
be 
set 
to 
cut 
any 
angle 
from 
0 to 
45 
degrees.

							CUTTING 
CURVES
The 
blade 
on 
the 
metal 
cutting 
band 
saw
does 
not 
turn 
from 
side-to-side 
to 
create
scrolling 
effects. 
Cutting 
cur
ved 
corners 
is
achieved 
by 
making 
relief 
cuts 
along 
the
cur
ved 
path. 
The 
relief 
cuts 
allow 
the
blade 
to 
make 
the 
cut 
without 
twisting.
See 
Figure 
17. 
If the 
cur
ved 
path 
is so
sharp 
that 
it is necessar
y to 
repeatedly
stop 
and 
back 
up, 
the 
cur
ve 
could 
be 
cut
by 
increasing 
the 
number 
of 
relief 
cuts 
or
changing 
to 
a different 
blade 
with 
more 
set. 
The 
more 
set 
a blade 
has, 
the 
easier
the 
workpiece 
can 
be 
turned.When 
withdrawing 
the 
workpiece, 
changing 
the 
cut 
pat-
tern, 
or 
for 
any 
other 
reason, 
use 
caution 
and 
ensure 
the 
blade 
is not 
drawn
off 
the 
wheels. 
In 
most 
cases, 
it is 
easier 
to 
continue 
cutting 
straight 
out
through 
the 
scrap 
portion 
of 
the 
workpiece. 
Should 
the 
blade 
come 
off 
one 
of
the 
wheels, 
its 
speed 
will 
cause 
it thrash 
violently 
inside 
the 
saw 
head 
and
possibly 
break. 
This 
could 
cause 
severe 
damage 
to 
the 
band 
saw 
compo-
nents 
and 
possibly 
severe 
injur
y to 
the 
operator
.
TROUBLESHOOTING
To avoid 
any 
accidental 
starting 
of the 
Band 
saw
, turn 
the 
switch 
to the 
“OFF”
position 
and 
unplug 
the 
tool 
from 
the 
AC 
power 
source.
Should 
the 
motor 
fail 
to 
run, 
for 
any 
reason, 
call

VER
TICAL 
CUTTING
When 
cutting 
small 
pieces 
or 
ends 
that 
are 
close 
to 
the
blade, 
ALWAYS 
use 
a push 
stick 
to 
prevent 
the 
hands 
from 
accidentally 
com-
ing 
in 
contact 
with 
the 
moving 
blade. 
A push 
stick 
can 
be 
made 
from 
a piece
of 
wood 
that 
is 
at 
least 
1 
wide 
and 
12 
long. 
A notch 
should 
be 
in 
the 
end
that 
contacts 
the 
workpiece.
Using 
the 
metal 
cutting 
band 
saw 
in 
the 
vertical 
position
should 
only 
be 
used 
for 
cutting 
light 
materials, 
workpieces 
that 
are 
short
enough 
to 
be 
guided 
by 
hand 
and 
for 
cutting 
rounded 
corners 
on 
flat 
work-
pieces 
that 
will 
not 
fit 
in 
the 
vise 
on 
the 
saw 
base. 
Cutting 
heavy 
materials
or 
thick 
workpieces 
in 
the 
vertical 
position 
could 
result 
in 
the 
blade 
becom-
ing 
ver
y hot, 
binding 
or 
even 
breaking 
resulting 
in 
damage 
to 
the 
band 
saw
,
the 
workpiece 
and/or 
possibly 
severe 
injuries 
to 
the 
operator
.
To set 
up 
the 
metal 
cutting 
band 
saw 
for 
vertical 
cutting, 
see 
Page 
16 
to 
assemble
the 
vertical 
cutting 
table 
and 
proceed 
as 
follows. 
See 
Figure 
16.
1. 
When 
making 
mitered 
or
angled 
cuts 
in the 
vertical
position, 
slide 
the 
miter
gauge 
into 
the 
square
groove 
on 
the 
right 
side 
of
the 
work 
table. 
Set 
the
miter 
gauge 
for 
the
desired 
angle 
of 
cut.
2. 
Turn 
ON 
the 
band 
saw
.
3. 
Firmly 
grasp 
the 
work-
piece 
and 
slowly 
push 
it
into 
the 
blade. 
Let 
the
blade 
do 
the 
cutting. 
Do
not 
attempt 
to 
cut 
too 
fast
or 
apply 
pressure 
against
the 
blade. 
This 
could 
cause 
the 
blade 
to 
become 
hot 
and 
harden 
and 
possibly
bind 
or 
break.
4. 
After 
the 
blade 
cuts 
through 
the 
side 
closest 
to 
the 
operator
, keep 
pushing 
the
workpiece 
for
ward 
until 
it has 
completely 
cleared 
the 
blade. 
Pull 
the 
two 
halves
away 
from 
the 
work 
table.
5. 
Turn 
OFF 
the 
band 
saw
.
6. 
Allow

CLEANINGAfter 
ever
y use

surrounding 
area 
should
be 
cleaned 
thoroughly

brush 
to 
clean 
the 
saw 
components. 
Sweep 
around 
the 
saw 
or 
use

4. 
Slowly 
raise 
the 
saw 
head 
emptying 
the 
used

into 
the 
pan.
5. When all of the oil is emptied, lower the saw head back to the horizontal position.
6. 
Fill 
the

lubricant 
and 
tighten 
the 
four 
screws.
