OPERATION
LUBRICATING THE BLADE
DANGER! Ensure the tool is stable and take precautions when
applying wax to the moving blade to avoid amputation or
serious injury.
1. Lubrication is recommended when cutting aluminum, brass and
thick materials. Cast iron should be cut dry. Choose a cutting or
lubricating wax that is designed for a band saw and comes in a
stick applicator. Apply the wax to both sides of the blade while the
saw is running. Reapply wax intermittently as needed.
2. After prolonged cutting, the wax will cling to the pulleys of your
portable band saw. This does not affect the operation of the
machine. All that is necessary is to disconnect the machine from
the power source and wipe the wax from the pulleys.
START AND STOP SAW
WARNING! Never use liquid coolant with your band saw. Liquid
coolants increase the risk of electric shock. It may also damage
the blade guide bearing or the rubber on the pulleys.
NOTICE! Do not change the saw speed during a cut. Remove the
saw from the material before adjusting the speed to avoid
damaging the tool.
NOTICE! If the band saw becomes locked or jammed in the
workpiece material during cutting, release the trigger switch
immediately to avoid damage to the band saw blade and motor.
1. Clamp the material to be cut in a vise or other clamping device.
Never attempt to use this tool by resting it on a work surface and
bringing the material to the tool. Always securely clamp the
workpiece and bring the tool to the workpiece, securely holding the
tool with two hands
1.1 Support end pieces that are heavy enough to cause injury
when they drop after cutting.
2. Adjust the guide bar (H) to the workpiece by loosening the screws
(I) and sliding the guide bar forwards or backwards. Do not allow
the guide bar to touch the blade (I). Tighten the screws to secure
the guide bar.
