[. . . ] Place band saw on the workbench aligning holes in the saw base with the holes drilled in the workbench. Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock washers and hex nuts (not included). Install the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the bench. Supporting surface where band saw is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or support surface before beginning cutting operation. HOLES IN SAW BASE Fig. 5 CLAMPING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH See Figure 5. SCREW If the band saw is to be used as a portable tool, it is recommended that you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other supporting surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Mount saw to board using holes in saw base as a template for hole pattern. Follow the last three steps in the section Mounting Band Saw to Workbench, shown above. If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in the saw base and material the saw is being mounted to. If machine bolts are being used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in the saw base, the material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts. 9 TRACKING THE BLADE See Figure 10. BLADE TENSION KNOB WARNING: Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. NOTE: Adjust blade tension properly before making tracking adjustments. BLADE ON WHEEL TRACKING VIEW WINDOW BLADE TRACKING KNOB To Adjust: Open the front cover by releasing the upper and lower latches. Watch the blade's position on the upper tire through the tracking view window as, by hand, you slowly turn the upper wheel clockwise. If the blade moves away from the center of the tire, the tracking must be adjusted. Retighten hex nut. If the blade has moved left or right of center: NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the hex nut for a larger range of adjustments. Turn the blade tracking knob (clockwise if blade has moved left and counterclockwise if blade has moved right) while turning the wheel by hand until the blade moves back and rides in the center of the tire. Fig. 10 Page 13 ASSEMBLY ATTACHING THE WORKLIGHT See Figure 11. WORKLIGHT BRACKET WARNING: Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. Slide the worklight bracket into the slot at the back of the band saw housing and into the slots on the inside of the band saw. Securely tighten the wing screw clockwise to hold the worklight firmly in place. Close the saw housing cover. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This worklight has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. [. . . ] Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent. Replacing tires: Open front cover and remove saw blade. Replace the saw blade and close the front cover. BLADE GUIDES WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, turn off the saw, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw before working on the band saw. See Figure 22. Blade guides may become rounded and worn during use. Replace blade guides when filing or grinding has worn them down and they can no longer be properly secured in place. MOTOR/ELECTRICAL Frequently vacuum or blow out sawdust from the motor.
