The table and other unpainted parts of your
bandsaw are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorinebased solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Once the assembly is complete, test run the machine to
make sure it runs properly for regular operations.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The
motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety
disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review KiflYc\j_ffk`e^ on GX^\*..
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.

The following tips will help you safely and effectively
operate your bandsaw and help you get the maximum life
out of your saw blades.
?fi`qfekXc:lkk`e^
›
Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut
multiple pieces of stock to the same length (see
=`^li\)').
•
Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to ensure
a straight cut through the material.
•
Allow the blade reach full speed before engaging
the workpiece. Never start a cut with the blade in
contact with the workpiece (see =`^li\)().
Chips should be curled and silvery. If the chips are
thin and powder like, increase your feed rate (refer
to the D\kXc:_`g@ejg\Zk`fe:_Xik on GX^\).).
•
If the chips are burned, reduce the blade speed.
•
Wait until the blade has completely stopped before
removing the workpiece from the vise, and avoid
touching the cut end—it could be very hot!
M\ik`ZXc:lkk`e^
•
Workpieces that cannot be properly supported or
stabilized without a vise should not be cut in the
vertical position. Examples are chains, cables, round
or oblong-shaped workpieces, workpieces with
internal or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.
•
Make sure that the vertical table assembly is
securely fastened to the bandsaw frame so it will
adequately support the workpiece.
•
Always keep your fingers away from the blade and
always hold the workpiece securely in your hand
(=`^li\))).
•
Adjust the blade guides as close as possible to the
workpiece to minimize side-to-side blade movement.
NOTICE
Release the blade tension at the end of the day to
prolong blade life.

Usually measured as TPI (Teeth Per Inch), tooth pitch
determines the size/number of the teeth. More teeth
per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother; while
fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut rougher, but
faster.
As a general rule, choose blades that will have at least
three teeth in the material at all times. Use fine pitched
blades on harder metals and coarse pitched blades on
softer metals. When selecting blades, refer to =`^li\*.

Proper blade tension is essential to long blade life,
straight cuts, and efficient cutting times.
Two major signs that you do not have the correct blade
tension are: 1) The blade stalls in the cut and is slipping
on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently breaks from
being too loose.

The blade guide bearings must be properly adjusted to
make square cuts. One bearing on each assembly has an
eccentric bushing that allows it to be adjusted so the
blade is square to the vise. The bearings are secured
