3. Basic Band Saw Operation .................... 21

4. Maintenance ............................... 22

5. Stability of Machine

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

6. Location

The band saw should be positioned so neither the opera-tor nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line withthe 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 anda face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs ormuffs during extended periods of operation. Do notwear gloves.., roll long sleeves above the elbow.

b.

c.

d.

Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold byhand.

Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slipcould cause a hand to move into the blade or the

sanding belt.

Never turn your band saw "ON" before clearing thetable of all Objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)

except for the workpiece and related feed or supportdevices for the operation planned.

Make sure the blade runs downward toward the tablein the right direction. Always adjust tracking wheelcorrectly so that the blade does not run off thewheels.

f. Always adjust tension correctly for the blade orsanding belt being used...

g. Always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guardto just clear the workpiece to protect the operator,

i.

q.

to keep blade breakage to a minimum, and to providemaximum support for blade.

When cutting a large piece of material, make sure itis supported at table height.

Hold the work firmly against the table.

Do not feed the material too fast while cutting.

Only feed the material fast enough so that the bladewill cut. Keep fingers away from the blade.

Use caution when cutting off material which isirregular in cross section which could pinch the bladebefore the cut is completed. A piece of molding for

example should lay flat on the table and not bepermitted to rock while being cut.

Use caution when cutting off round material such

as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency toroll while being cut causing the blade to "bite".Always use a "V" block, or clamp round materialto a miter gauge.

When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bindin the kerf (cut) .,. this is usually caused by sawdust

clogging up the kerf. If this happens:

11 Turn off the band saw . . . remove plug from

power source outlet . . . remove cover fromband saw. Insert a screwdriver or wedge in thekerf.., rotate the wheels by hand while backingup the workpiece.

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

Never operate the band saw with protective cover onon the unused shaft end of the motor removed.

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

Remove plug from power, and turn saw "OFF"before installing or removing an accessory or attach-ment.

8. Should any part of this band saw be missing, or bend, orfail in any way, or any electrical component fail toperform properly, shut off power switch, and removepower supply cord from power supply. Replacedamaged, missing, and/or failed parts before resumingoperation.

9. Think Safety.

Safety is a combination of operator common sense andalertness whenever the band saw/sander is in operation.

8, Place the blade over the wheels with the teeth pointingdownwards toward the table as shown. Make sure theblade is between the blade guides and is in the center ofthe rubber tires.

NOTE: Your bandsaw can be used with blades ofvarious widths from 1/8" to 1/2"'. The saw must beadjusted to the proper blade tension setting for theblade to be used. A 1/4" wide blade is included withthis saw.

9. Screw down the tension knob until the pointer pointsto 1/4. This will put sufficient tension on a 1/4" wideblade.

10. Turn the upper wheel by hand a few times and notice ifthe blade remains in the approx, center of the tire onthe top wheel.

If the blade moves away from the center of the wheelwhile you are turning it, the blade is not TRACKINGproperly.

The top wheel shaft is hinged which allows the wheel tobe tilted so that the blade can be TRACKED. Byturning the tracking adjustment screw, the wheel will betilted. (see illustration).

basic band saw/sander operation

BASIC BAND SAW/SANDER OPERATION

A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It differsfrom a saw in two respects. It is capable of cutting thickermaterial and it cuts faster. Unlike a saw, it is not capableof doing inside cutting.

Your Craftsman Band Saw/Sander is not only capable ofthe usual band saw operations, but it can be converted intoa sander as well. You can finish wood, certain compositionsand plastics and non-ferrous metals.

SAWING

1. Adjust the upper guides to just clear the workpiece.

2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade.Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentlepressure, and do not force the work, but allow the bladeto cut.

3. The smallest diameter that can be cut out is determined

by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4" wideblade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately1-1/2". (See Chart)

BLADE SELECTION GUIDE FOR MINIMUM CIRCLE CUTTING

BLADE 1 "SIZE

3" 1" 3" 1"

SANDING

The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice with somescraps of wood first before you attempt to sand youractual workpiece.

1. Press the workpiece gently against the sanding belt,and keep moving it until the edge is smooth.

21

Page 22: Band Saw Manual

maintenanceWARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCEOUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATINGYOUR BAND SAW.

TIRES

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

When the tires become worn they should be replaced. Whenreplacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels but donot glue them on.

GENERAL

Keep your Band Saw/Sander clean.

Remove the sawdust from the inside.

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

Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax on the table sothat the wood slides easily while cutting.

MOTOR

Frequently blow out any sawdust from the motor.

If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,have it replaced immediately.

For motor maintenance, follow instructions furnished withthe motor.

LUBRICATION

All of the BALL BEARINGS are packed with greaseatthefactory. They require no further lubrication.

For motor lubrication, follow instructions furnished withthe motor.

Periodically apply a few drops of oil to the upper wheelguide rods.
