WARNING
For your own safety, read instruction manual before operating saw.
1. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection.
2. Do not remove jammed cut off pieces until blade has stopped.
Mounting portable band saw to stand
The portable band saw is factory shipped without the handle installed.
Install them as follows.
Screw the handle into the base two or three turns while raising the chain hook. (Fig. 1)
Position the chain hook between the washers on the handle. (Two pcs. of washers should be outside the chain hook and
one washer should be inside the chain hook.) Screw in the handle so that the chain hook will not dislodge itself. (Fig. 2)
Use the hex wrench 5 to remove the front grip from the portable band saw.
Use the hex wrench 5 to turn the adjusting bolts on the arm of the stand counterclockwise until they move back below the
installation surface of the arm. Match the protrusion on the saw to the groove in the arm of the stand. To secure the saw to
the stand, use the securing bolts remove earlier from the front grip. Semi-tighten the securing bolts at this time. (Fig. 3)
Square the blade with the vise using the triangular rule. Then securely tighten the securing bolts on the arm of the stand.
If you cannot obtain proper squareness of the blade with the vise by this adjustment, loosen the bolts securing the bracket
and try to square the blade with the vise again. (Fig. 4)
Make sure that the blade is square with the base work surface. When the blade is square with the base work surface,
slightly tighten the adjusting bolts. If the blade tilts as in (1), adjusting bolt A; if the blade tilts as in (2), adjust the adjusting
bolt B after loosening the securing bolts. After adjustment, tighten the securing bolts securely. (Fig. 5)
Pass the power supply cord though the hook on the arm of the stand to prevent damage from contact with the blade or the
workpiece. (Fig. 6)
CAUTION
Bolt the stand securely to a level place using the two holes in the base.
Cutting operation (Fig. 7)
1. Raise the saw to the locked position.
2. It is important to keep at least two teeth in the cut. Select the proper cutting position for your workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece on the base work surface and against the vise. Wrap the chain around the workpiece and hook
the chain to the chain hook. Turn the vise handle clockwise to secure the workpiece firmly.
4. Hold the saw handle firmly and release the stopper pin.
5. Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Gently lower the blade into the cut. The weight of the tool or
slightly pressing the tool down will supply adequate pressure for the cutting. Do not force the tool.
CAUTION
•Apply excessive pressure to the tool may cause bevel cutting or damage to the blade.
•When not using the tool for a long period of time, remove the blade from the tool.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection and maintenance.
