General Safety Information
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may re-
sult in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Do not let visitors contact the tool or extension
cord. Such preventative measures reduce the risk of
injury.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the out-
let is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
Connect the tool to an AC power supply that
matches the name plate specifications. Incorrect
voltage supply can cause electrical shock or burns.
Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole re-
ceptacles which accept the machines plug. Use
of other extension cords will not ground the tool and in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop and
loss of power.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging tools in that have the switch ON
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning
the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.

Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamp or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce risk of starting tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Inspect tool and extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electrical shock.
Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. This allows for better control of the tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-
pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electrical shock or injury.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
Specific Safety Information
WARNING
Read this operator’s manual carefully before using
the machine. Failure to understand and follow the
contents of this manual may result in electrical
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service
Department at (800) 519-3456 if you have any questions.
Tool Safety
Do not alter or misuse tool. Other uses may in-
crease the risk of injury.
Always use the blade recommended for the material
being cut. Recommended blades that are sharp are
less likely to bind and tool is easier to control.
Secure workpiece before attaching vise. Clamp
work vise securely to the work piece before at-
taching band saw to vise. To maintain control,
workpiece must support weight of work vise and band
saw without movement.
Stay clear of workpieces that may fall after cut. May
result in injury.
Maintain a firm grip on band saw handle while
making a cut. Support saw weight as cut is com-
pleted. Will prevent losing control of the saw.
Turn band saw OFF and disconnect from power
source while mounting and dismounting the saw
from work vise. Prevents accidental starting.

Selecting the Blade
Band Saw Blades
Model 932VS Band Saw requires blades that are .020
thick;
1
/
2
wide; and 44
7
/
8
long.
NOTE! DO NOT USE blades for stationary band saws.
Blades for stationary band saws are of different thickness
than above and WILL NOT fit the precision blade guides
on portable band saws.
REFER TO THE BLADE SELECTION CHART (Figure
11) for types of blades available and their recommended
usages. This chart is provided as a guide only. Due to
the many materials that can be cut, operators experi-
ence will determine which blade will have the longest life
for any specific operation.
Which Blade to Use
In general, select a blade which will allow at least two
teeth to be engaged in the material thickness. The thin-
ner or the harder the material, the finer the blade teeth
should be. For thicker or softer material, a blade with
coarser blade teeth is recommended. The hi-speed
steel blades stay sharp longer than alloy steel blades.
Blade Care
Blade life will be extended by using a wax-type cutting lu-
bricant as supplied with saw. Keep sharp blade in saw.
Under no condition should a liquid coolant
be used with this saw. The bearings and rubber tires on
pulleys may be damaged as a result.
NOTE! Stick wax is especially helpful when cutting large
sections of aluminum and soft brass because it
will help keep gullets clean. On hard materials,
stick wax will help keep blade cool so hardness
will not be drawn from teeth. The use of this lu-
bricant promotes a cleaner, smoother surface
on sides of cut.
Cutting Procedures
1. Be sure work to be cut is held securely and is properly
positioned so that greatest number of teeth will con-
tact work when cutting. (Figure 2)
2. Plug saw power cord into properly grounded electri-
cal outlet.
3. Set variable speed switch in desired position. Speed
CAN be changed while machine is running.
4. Hold saw in a natural position away from work.
5. Start saw by depressing switch trigger in rear handle.
6. Keeping blade rear guide stop firmly against work and
lower saw to cut material.
NOTE! Let weight of saw furnish cutting pressure. Do not
bear down during cutting operations. This will
slow down speed of blade and reduce cutting ef-
ficiency.
7. Upon completion of cut, hold Saw firmly so it does not
fall against work.
8. Release switch trigger and unplug power cord.
NOTE! After prolonged cutting, wax will cling to pulleys of
Saw. This does not affect operation of Saw. All
that is necessary is to unplug Saw from power
source and wipe wax from pulleys.
