vertical position, making sure it locks
in place by turning the Support Plate
(150) to the right until it firmly locks
into the Body Frame and inserting the
Locking Pin (153). (see Figure s.)
Once all necessary adjustments to 4.

the Power Cord Plug into the near-
est 120 volt, grounded, electrical
outlet.
Turn the Power Switch (164) to its

es when the Bandsaw is in its vertical
position. Never attempt to cut pipes
or other round objects with the Band-
saw in its vertical position.
Before cutting, turn on the Bandsaw
7.
and check for excessively loose Saw
Blade (82) tension or machine vi-
bration. If this is found, turn off the
Bandsaw and correct the problem
before using. (see Figure s.)
Set the workpiece on the Vertical Cut- 8.
ting Plate (189), making sure to keep
downward pressure on the workpiece
throughout the cutting process.

make sure its entire length is properly
supported. If necessary, use a roller
stand (not included) with a larger
workpiece.
Allow the Saw Blade (82) to turn up
10.
to full speed before feeding the work-
piece into the Saw Blade.
(see Figure s.)
11. warning! Keep hands and
fingers safely away from the cut-
ting area.
Feed the workpiece into the Saw
12.
Blade (82) gradually. Do not force
the Bandsaw to remove material
faster than it is designed to cut.
(see Figure s.)
Never attempt to remove mate-
13.
rial stuck in the moving parts of the
Bandsaw while it is plugged in and
running. Turn off the Bandsaw if the
workpiece is to be backed out of an
uncompleted cut.
