FASTENING BAND SAW

TO SUPPORTING SURFACE

ifduring operation there is any tendency for the machine to

tip over, slide, or walk on the supporting surface, the

machine must be secured to the supporting surface. Four

holes (A) Fig, 10, are provided inthe band saw base for this

purpose.

CONNECTING BAND SAW TO POWER SOURCE

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire

and should be protected with a 20 Amp fuse. Have a certified electrician replace or repair a worn cord

immediately. Before connecting the motorto a power line, make sure the switch isinthe"OFF" position

and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor nameplate.

Running on low voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE TOOL IN DAMP

LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your band saw iswired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the band saw

to the power source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire

extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pote receptacle which will accept

the tools plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current

of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. Fig. 10A, shows the correct gage to use depending on cord length. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gage, The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
