SECTION 1: SAFETY
For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating this Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor- tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgement.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com- plete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equip- ment, or poor work results.

Dust Collection
DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an ade- quate dust collection system. This bandsaw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col- lector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to cal- culate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection
To connect a dust collection hose:

Note: Do not rely on this setting for other blades or for long periods of time because all blades require specific tensioning and stretch with use. If you notice a decrease in perfor- mance at the setting repeat this procedure.
With extended use, the blade tensioning sys- tem may need to be reset. Refer to Resetting Blade Tensioner in the Service section in this manual for details.

Tip: To quickly gauge this setting, fold a crisp dollar bill in half twice (when folded tightly, four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approxi- mately 0.016"). Place the folded dollar bill between the support bearing and the blade, as shown in Figure 32.

Note: With wider blades, it may not be possi- ble to bring the guide bearings just behind the blade gullets. Position them as far forward as possible without allowing the guide bearing housing to touch the back of the blade.
The set of the teeth increase the chance of the bearings contacting the teeth during a cutting operation as the set of the teeth is wider than the blade. The support bearing must be set to prevent this.

Children or untrained people can be seriously injured by this machine. This risk increases with unsupervised operation. To help prevent unsupervised operation, disable and lock the switch before leaving machine unattended! Place key in a well- hidden or secure location.
NOTICE
The padlock shaft diameter is important to the disabling function of the switch. With any padlock used to lock the switch, test the switch after installation to ensure that it is properly disabled.

Changing Blade
Disconnect bandsaw from power BEFORE changing blade. Serious personal injury could occur if machine is started during this procedure.
LACERATION HAZARD! Bandsaw blades are sharp and difficult to handle. Wear heavy leather gloves while handling to reduce the risk of being cut.
