(See page 19)
Read the following WARNING labels found on the front of the saw:
WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause
serious, permanent Injury, do not plug the saw
in until the following steps are completed,
WARNING
DANGER
WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT Use the saw in a dry, indoor place protected from rain, Keep work
area well lighted.
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
• Put the saw on a firm level surface where there is plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece
• Support the saw so the table is level and the saw does not rock.
• Bolt the saw to the support surface if it tends to slip, walk, or slide during operations like cutting long, heavy boards.
• Turn saw off and unplug cord before moving the saw.
To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:
• GROUND THE SAW This saw has an approved
3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug Use only 3-wire, grounded outlets rated
120 volts, 15 amperes (amps). The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire_ To avoid electrocution, NEVER connect the green
wire to a live terminal
• Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or' unplugging the saw,.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting tool, Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.
BEFORE EACH USE:
Inspect your saw.
DISCONNECT THE SAW To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug the saw, turn the switch off and remove the switch key before changing the setup, opening covers, removing guards, or' blade_
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:
, alignment of moving parts,
o binding of moving parts, o broken parts,
• stable mounting, and
- any other conditions that may affect the way the saw works.
If anypartis missing,bent,or brokenin anyway,or anyelectricalpartdoesn'tworkproperly, off andunplugthe saw REPLACEdamaged,missing,or failedpartsbeforeusingthesawagain

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
• Choose the right size and style blade for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
(See page 18) Consult this owner's manual for recommended accessories FoIlow the instructions that come with the accessories The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons
• Make sure the blade teeth point downward, toward the table
• Make sure the blade guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted
• Make sure the blade tension is properly adjusted,
. Make sure the table lock knob is tight and no parts have excessive play
. To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade breakage and provide maximum blade support, always adjust the upper blade guide and blade guard to just clear the workpiece
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents Floor must not be slippery
To avoid burns or other fire damage, rlever use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases
Plan ahead to protect your eyes,
hands, face, ears.
KNOW YOUR SAW Read and understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to the tool_ Learn
its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool
To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the saw while any parts are moving.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING Make sure switch
is "OFF" before plugging saw into a power outlet
Plan your work.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL Don't force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed to do
• Use this band saw to cut onty wood, wood like products, and plastics
Dress for safety,
WEAR YOUR
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes This can cause permanent eye damage Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI
Z871 (shown on package) Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses They are not safety glasses Safety goggles are available at Sears retait catalog stores Glasses or goggles not in c0m_ pliance with ANSI Z87 ! could seriously hurt you when they break
• Do not wear Ioose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught and draw you into moving parts
• Wear nonslip footwear
• Tie back long hair
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow
• Noise levels vary widely To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using your saw for hours at a time
• For dusty operations wear a dust mask along with the safety goggles
Inspect your workpiece_
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces:
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks.
etc ) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top
• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider then the basic saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not pinch the blade. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut
. Properly support round materiat such as dowel rods, or tubing They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the blade to "bite" To avoid this, always use a "V" block or clamp the work to the miter gage
• Cut only one workpiece at a time
• Clear everything except the workpiece and relat-
ed support devices off the table before turning the saw on
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from
start to finish,
Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will go under the blade guard Use jigs or fixtures to hold the work and keep your hands away from the blade
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move
into the blade
DON'T OVERREACH Keep good footing and balance
WHENEVER SAW IS
RUNNING.
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your band saw) cause a
careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a tot, stop immediately Turn the saw off Unplug the saw Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY Keep all visitors a safe distance from the saw Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or binding
Before freeing any jammed material:
• Turn switch "OFF"
• Remove switch key
. Unplug the saw
. Wait for all moving parts to stop
When backing up the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut).
This is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerr or because the blade comes out of the guides.
If this happens:
• Turn switch "OFF"
° Remove switch key
• Unplug saw
• Wait for all moving parts to stop
• Open band saw cover
• Stick flat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerf
• Turn the upper wheel by hand while backing up the workpiece
Before removing loose pieces from the table, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW:
Wait for a!l moving parts to stop
Make workshop child-proof.
Lock the shop
Disconnect master switches Remove the yellow switch key Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool

• broken parts,
• stable mounting, and
• any other conditions that may affect the way the saw works.
If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical part doesn't work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the saw REPLACE damaged, missing, or failed parts before using the saw again
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE Keep the saw clean for best and safest performance
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHE, S from tool before turning it on
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.
KNOW YOUR SAW Read and understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to the tool Learn its applica: tion and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool
To avoid injury from accidental contact ,with moving parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the saw while any parts are moving
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING Make sure switch is
"OFF" before plugging saw into a power outlet
Plan your work.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL Don't force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed to do
• Use this band saw to cut only wood, wood like products, and plastics
To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
• Choose the right size and style blade for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
(See page 18) Consult this owner's manual for recommended accessories Follow the instructions that come with the accessories The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Make sure the blade teeth point downward, toward the table
• Make sure the blade guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted
• Make sure the blade tension is properly adjusted
. Make sure the table lock knob is tight and no parts have excessive play
Dress for safety.
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes
This can cause permanent eye damage Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87 1
(shown on package) Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses The are not safety glasses
Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog stores Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught and draw you into moving parts
• Wear nonslip footwear
• Tie back long hair
- Roll long sleeves above the elbow
16
• Noise levels vary widely To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using your saw tot hours at a time
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with the safety goggles
Inspect your workpiece,
Make sure there are no nails or toreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces:
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc ) for any workpiece large enough to tip when not held down to the table top
• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider then the basic saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not pinch the blade A piece of molding, for exampfe, must lay flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut
Properly support round materiai such as dowel rods, or tubing They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the blade to "bite" To avoid this, atways use a 'V' block or clamp the work to the table
• Cut only one workpiece at a time
• Clear everything except the workpiece and retated support devices off the table before turning the saw on
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.
Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will go under the blade guard Use jigs or fixtures to hold the work and keep your hands away from the blade
Avoid awkward operations and hand positiondwhere a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into the blade
DON T OVERREACH Keep good footing and balance
WHENEVER SAW iS RUNNING.
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your band saw) cause a care-
less mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately, Turn the saw off Unplug the saw Do not restart unlit finding and correcting the problem
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY Keep all visitors a safe distance from the saw Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece
DONT FORCE TOOL It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or binding
Before freeing any jammed material:
• Turn switch "OFF"
• Remove switch key
• Unplug the saw
• Wait for all moving parts to stop
When backing up the workpiece, the blade may
bind in the kerf (cut).
This is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf or because the blade comes out of the guides. If this happens:
• Turn switch "OFF"
• Remove switch key
, Unplug saw
• Wait for all moving parts to stop
- Open band saw cover
• Stick flat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerf,
• Turn the upper wheel by hand while backing up the workpiece
Before removing loose pieces from the table, turn
saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW:
Wait for all moving parts to stop
Make workshop child-proof Lock the shop Disconnect master switches Remove the yellow switch Key Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

basic band saw operation
A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine It is also used for straight-line cutting operations such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawmg It is not capable of doing inside cutting,
This band saw is designed to cut wood and wood like products only,
For general type scroll cutting, follow the pattern lines by pushing and turning the workpiece at the same time Don't try to turn the workpiece while engaged in the blade without pushing it; the workpiece could bind or twist the blade
A curve cut is best performed by keeping the pattern line in line with the blade while turning the workpiece before the radius of the curve is cut,. The blade should cut in the middle of the pattern line (saw kerf) since wood cutting band saw blades are thin

WARNING: To avoid blade contact, adjUst the
upper guide assembly to just clear the workpiece, l r, Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade, Hold the workpiece firmly against the table,
Use gentle pressure Do not force the work, but allow the blade to cuL
2 The smallest diameter' circle that can be cut out is
, determined by the width of the blade,, A 1/4" wide blade will cut a minimum diameter' of approximate-
ly 1-1/2" A 1/8" wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1/2",
Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too small a radius for the blade) is to be cut buL A relief cut is made by cutting through the scrap section of workpiece to curve in pattern line, then carefully backing blade out Several relief cuts should be made
for intricate curves, then follow pattern line as sections are cut off of curve "relieving" blade pressure,

maintenance
WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch
"OFF", remove switch key and remove plug from power outlet before maintaining or lubricating your band saw.
TIRES
Pitch and sawdust that accumulates on the tires should be removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of wood Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent
GENERAL
Keep your Band Saw clean
Remove sawdust from the inside frequently
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, blade guides, or thrust bearings Clean them with
Craftsman Gum and Pitch Remover
Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax to the table
top so the wood slides easily while cutting Also apply wax to the inside surfaces of the trunnion
MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust from the motor
or damaged in any way, have it
