Craftsman 351.214300 - Manual (Page 3)

Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is
in the “off” position before plugging in.
Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the
rate for which it was designed.
Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting
surfaces.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the
power off and do not leave tool until it comes to
a complete stop.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool
is tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica­
tion and specific limitations.
Use recommended accessories (refer to page 17).
Use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.
Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from
possible injury.
Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs
too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.) Do not remove summed or cut
off pieces until the saw is turned off, unplugged
and the blade has stopped.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result
in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
Safety goggles are available through your Sears catalog.
UNPACKING
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred,
a claim must be filed with carrier. Check for complete­
ness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
The band saw comes assembled as one unit. Additional
parts which need to be fastened to the saw should be
located and accounted for before assembling:
A Rip Fence
В Knob
WARNING: Be careful not to touch overhead power
lines, piping, lighting, etc., if lifting equipment is used.
Band saw weighs approximately 1000 lbs. Proper tools,
equipment and qualified personnel should be employed
in all phases of unpacking and installation.
IMPORTANT: Table is coated with a protectant. To
ensure proper fit and operation, remove coating.
Coating is easily removed with mild solvents, such as
mineral spirits, and a soft cloth. Avoid getting solution
on paint or any of the rubber or plastic parts. Solvents
may deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water
on paint, plastic or rubber components. After cleaning,
cover all exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil.
Paste wax is recommended for table top.
WARNING; Never use highly volatile solvents. Non
flammable solvents are recommended to avoid possible
fire hazard.
ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 16.
CAUTION; Do not attempt assembly if parts are miss­
ing. Use operator’s manual to order replacement parts.
MOUNT RIP FENCE

Before band saw is installed, a suitable location should
be chosen. Band saw weighs approximately 1000 lbs.
1. Band saw needs to be set on a flat, level surface.
2. Make sure there is ample room for moving the work­
piece through the entire cut. There must be enough
room that neither the operator nor bystanders will
have to stand in line while using the tool.
3. Good lighting and correct power supply are also
required for a proper work area.
Mount saw on level surface using mounting brackets
welded to cabinet. Bolt cabinet to floor (hardware not
included).
