CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 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 exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear NIOSH/OSHA approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools. 3 GENERAL SAFETY RULES Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) Electrical safety a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 4 GENERAL SAFETY RULES continued d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards. 4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. 5 ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. 2. Keep blades sharp. Sharp blades will do the job better and safer. 3. Keep hands away from cutting area. When sawing never reach underneath or behind the material being cut for any reason. 4. When you have finished a cut be careful not to come into contact with the blade. Turn off the motor immediately. 5. Make sure the material to be cut is firmly held to prevent movement. 6. Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after being cut off. 7. Never use a liquid coolant with portable band saws. 8. Liquid coolants can increase the risk of electric shock. Use only stick wax to lubricate the blade. 9. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN BLIND CUTTING TO BE CERTAIN THAT THERE ARE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS SUCH AS ELECTRICAL WIRE, CONDUIT, PLUMBING PIPES, ETC., THAT MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE BLADE. 10. Never hold work in your hand, lap, or against other parts of your body when sawing. 11. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards. 12. Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Several models, however, are designed for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage and current rating. Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool. EXTENSION CORD SELECTION If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix WA or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

CARTON CONTENTS 1. Porta-Band saw 2. Porta-Band saw blade FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FOREWORD MODEL 7724 PORTER-CABLE Portable Band Saw is designed to cut various types of material up to 43/4" diameter or 41/2" x 43/4" rectangular shape. 8 ASSEMBLY NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools are required. OPERATION TO START AND STOP SAW 1. Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the specification plate on the saw. Connect machine to power circuit. 2. Squeeze trigger switch (A) Fig. 1, to start motor. Release trigger to stop motor. 3. A lock button (B), Fig. 1, is provided to keep the saw running without holding the switch trigger “ON”. To lock the switch trigger “ON”, squeeze the trigger as far as it will go and push in the lock button and release trigger. To UNLOCK the lock, squeeze trigger allowing lock button to spring free and release trigger. 4. The 7724 is equipped with an adjustable variable speed control. The speed is adjusted by turning the control knob (C), Fig. 1. The control knob is numbered “1” through “6” with “1” being the slowest speed (approximately 90 SFM) and “6” being the fastest speed (approximately 240 SFM). The speed control may be adjusted with or without the motor running. B A C Fig. 1 BAND SAW BLADES MODEL 7724 Band Saw requires blades that are .020 thick; 1/2" wide; and 447/8" long. NOTE: Blades for stationary band saws are of different thickness than above and WlLL NOT fit the precision blade guides on portable band saws. Therefore, they MUST NOT be used. REFER TO THE BLADE SELECTlON CHART 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, operator’s experience will determine which blade will have the longest life for any specific operation. 9 WHICH BLADE TO USE In general, select a blade which will allow at least two teeth to be engaged in the material thickness. The thinner or the harder the material, the finer the blade teeth. The thicker or the softer the material, the coarser the blade teeth. The hi-speed steel blades stay sharp longer than alloy steel blades. USE OF LUBRICANTS NEVER USE LIQUID COOLANT WITH YOUR BAND SAW. Damage to the blade guide bearings or rubber tires on the pulleys may result. LIQUID COOLANTS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Use only stick wax to lubricate the blade. Porter-Cable’s “Lube Wax” is available as an accessory and is recommended when cutting aluminum, brass and thick materials. Cast iron should be cut dry. With the saw running, apply the wax momentarily to both sides of the blade. Reapply wax intermittently as needed. EXERCISE EXTREME CARE TO PREVENT HANDS FROM CONTACTING THE BLADE. After prolonged cutting, the wax will cling to the pulleys of your BAND SAW. This does not affect the operation of the machine. All that is necessary is to disconnect the machine from the power source and wipe the wax from the pulleys. TO CHANGE SAW BLADES DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. TO REMOVE BLADE – Turn handle (A), Fig. 2, clockwise to release tension on the saw blade. Remove the blade, first from the pulleys and then from the blade guide. Before installing a blade, clean chips and wax, which may have accumulated on blade guides and pulley tires. TO INSTALL BLADE – install blade in blade guides and then position on pulleys. MAKE SURE TEETH ON LEFT SIDE OF MACHINE POINT TOWARD THE REAR OF THE MACHINE. See Fig. 3. Turn handle (A), Fig. 2, counterclockwise as far as it will go. This places tension on saw blade. Start and stop saw two or three times to seat blade on pulleys. A Fig. 2 10 ➡ DIRECTION OF BLADE TRAVEL ON LEFT SIDE OF MACHINE POSITION OF TEETH ON LEFT SIDE OF MACHINE Fig. 3 A Fig. 4 TO ADJUST BLADE TRACKING This Band Saw is equipped with an adjustable Blade Tracking Mechanism. When properly adjusted: the back edge of the blade will run lightly against at least one of the back-up rollers, but will not press heavily against the roller. If the blade fails to track correctly, adjust as follows: 1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 2. Use a 9/16" wrench to loosen the adjustment locking nut (A) Fig. 5, by turning it counterclockwise, one or two turns. 3. Use a flat screwdriver to turn the tracking screw (B) Fig. 5, 1/4 turn. Turning the screw clockwise will move the blade further up, toward the blade guide rollers. Turning the screw counterclockwise will move the blade down, away from the blade guide rollers. 4. Tighten the adjustment locking nut. 5. Following the directions in TO START AND STOP SAW, operate the saw and observe blade tracking. 6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 as necessary to achieve proper tracking. B A Fig. 5 11 HOW TO USE A PORTABLE BAND SAW 1. Verify material to be cut is Right way Wrong way firmly held to prevent movement. 2. Set variable speed switch in desired position. Speed CAN be changed while machine is running. Right way Wrong way 3. Hold the saw as shown in Fig. 4, with the work stop (A) contacting the work and blade teeth clear of the work. 4. Turn saw “ON” and lower onto Right way Wrong way work. Allow weight of saw to control cutting pressure. Additional pressure will slow down speed of the blade and reduce cutting efficiency. Fig. 6 5. Hold saw straight in the cut. Any twisting or cocking of the blade results in shorter blade life. 6. Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after being cut off. 7. At completion of cut DO NOT allow saw to fall against work. HOLD SAW SECURELY. 8. Fig. 6 shows the proper cutting position for various shapes.

Frequently asked questions
The Porta-Band 7724 requires blades that are .020 thick, 1/2" wide, and 44 7/8" long.
No, never use liquid coolant with your band saw. Damage to the blade guide bearings or rubber tires on the pulleys may result. Use only stick wax to lubricate the blade.
Loosen the adjustment locking nut with a 9/16" wrench and use a flat screwdriver to turn the tracking screw. Turning the screw clockwise will move the blade further up, toward the blade guide rollers. Turning the screw counterclockwise will move the blade down, away from the blade guide rollers.
Squeeze the trigger as far as it will go and push in the lock button and release trigger. To unlock, squeeze trigger allowing lock button to spring free and release trigger.
