SAFETY  
For Your Own Safety,  
Read Manual Before Operating 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 importance 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 mea-  
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
WILL result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
COULD result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may  
cause damage to the machinery.  
NOTICE  
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions  
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions  
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this  
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.  
Untrained users can be seriously hurt.  
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing  
protection when operating or observing  
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this  
noise without hearing protection can cause  
permanent hearing loss.  
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved  
safety glasses or a face shield when operating  
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of  
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.  
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety  
glasses.  
MENTAL ALERTNESS. Be mentally alert when  
running machinery. Never operate under the  
influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or  
when distracted.  
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using  
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,  
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware  
of dust hazards associated with workpiece  
materials, and always wear a NIOSH-approved  
respirator to reduce your risk.  
DISCONNECTING POWER SUPPLY. Always  
disconnect machine from power supply before  
servicing, adjusting, or changing cutting tools  
(bits, blades, cutters, etc.). Make sure switch  
is in OFF position before reconnecting to avoid  
an unexpected or unintentional start.  
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear  
clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become  
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back  
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to  
avoid accidental slips which could cause a loss  
of workpiece control.  
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use  
machinery in wet or rainy locations, cluttered  
areas, around flammables, or in poorly-lit  
areas. Keep work area clean, dry, and well-  
lighted to minimize risk of injury.  
-4-  
 
 
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw  
APPROVED OPERATION. Untrained operators  
can be seriously hurt by machinery. Only  
allow trained or properly supervised people  
to use machine. When machine is not being  
used, disconnect power, remove switch keys,  
or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized  
use—especially around children. Make  
workshop kid proof!  
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during  
operations greatly increases the risk of injury  
and loss of control. Verify machines are  
stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are  
locked before starting.  
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It  
will do the job safer and better at the rate for  
which it was designed.  
ONLY USE AS INTENDED. Only use machine for  
its intended purpose. Never modify or alter  
machine for a purpose not intended by the  
manufacturer or serious injury may result!  
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and  
balance at all times when operating machine.  
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand  
positions that make workpiece control difficult  
or increase the risk of accidental injury.  
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult  
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for  
recommended accessories. Using improper  
accessories will increase the risk of serious  
injury.  
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave machine  
running while unattended. Turn machine off  
and ensure all moving parts completely stop  
before walking away.  
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and  
bystanders a safe distance away from work  
area. Stop using machine if children or  
bystanders become a distraction.  
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance  
instructions and lubrication schedules to  
keep machine in good working condition. An  
improperly maintained machine may increase  
the risk of serious injury.  
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave  
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc.  
in or on machine—especially near moving  
parts. Verify removal before starting!  
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect  
machine for damaged parts, loose bolts,  
mis-adjusted or mis-aligned parts, binding,  
or any other conditions that may affect safe  
operation. Always repair or replace damaged  
parts, wires, cords, or plugs before operating  
machine.  
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use  
clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured  
workpiece protects hands and frees both of  
them to operate the machine.  
FEED DIRECTION. Unless otherwise noted, feed  
work against the rotation of blades or cutters.  
Feeding in the same direction of rotation may  
pull your hand into the cut.  
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting  
cord-connected machines from power, grab  
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the  
cord may damage the wires inside. Do not  
handle the cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid  
cord damage by keeping it away from heated  
surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals,  
and wet or damp locations.  
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers can  
protect you from accidental contact with  
moving parts or flying debris. Make sure  
they are properly installed, undamaged, and  
working correctly before using machine.  
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you  
are experiencing difficulties performing the

Additional Safety for Metal Bandsaws  
USE this and other machinery with caution  
and respect. Always consider safety first,  
as it applies to your individual working  
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can  
be complete—every shop environment is  
different. Failure to follow guidelines could  
result in serious personal injury, damage  
to equipment or poor work results.  
READ and understand this  
entire instruction manual  
before using this machine.  
Serious personal injury  
may occur if safety and  
operational information is  
not understood and fol-  
lowed.  
1. SAFETY GUARDS. DO NOT operate bandsaw without wheel covers, pulley covers, or blade guards in  
place.  
2. SERVICE PREPARATION. Turn OFF and unplug machine before blade replacement, machine adjust-  
ments, and maintenance are done. Allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop before doing  
any of the above.  
3. SAFETY TOOLS. Use push sticks or other safety devises whenever possible, especially when the  
bandsaw is set up for vertical cutting.  
4. KEEPING HANDS CLEAR. Never reach under table, in the blade path, or around the blade guides  
while blade is in motion.  
5. FURTHER INFORMATION. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended  
operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our technical support department or ask a qualified  
expert how the operation should be performed.  
6. SHOP SAFETY. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety  
will become second-nature to you.  
7. WORKPIECE REMOVAL. Never back the workpiece from the blade when the bandsaw is set up for  
vertical cutting and while the bandsaw blade is in motion. Turn OFF machine and wait for blade to  
come to a complete stop before backing workpiece out.  
8. MANUAL INSPECTIONS. Unplug the machine and manually test blade tracking and tension before  
starting the machine. Blades that are loose or not tracking correctly can come off and cause serious  
personal injury.  
9. SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECECS. Long workpieces should be well supported at both ends with  
extension tables when cuts are made. Otherwise, after a cut is made, the cut piece may fall to the  
floor and the stock may tilt out of the vise and break the blade.  
10. SAFELY USING CUTTING FLUIDS. Make sure you know what type of metal and cutting fluid you will  
be exposed to and how to avoid contamination. Be aware that certain metal shavings and cutting  
fluids may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially when cutting fumes can be  
inhaled.

ELECTRICAL  
Circuit Requirements  
This machine must be connected to the correct size and  
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage  
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an  
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct  
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install  
one before you can connect the machine to power.  
The machine must be properly set up  
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT  
connect this machine to the power  
source until instructed to do later in  
this manual.  
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment  
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building  
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for  
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-  
load current drawn from the machine for an extended  
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit  
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)  
Full-Load Current Rating  
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine  
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines  
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the  
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices  
that might operate at one time during normal operations.  
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this  
machine can cause electrocution, fire,  
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,  
only a qualified electrician or service  
personnel should do any required  
electrical work for this machine.  
Full-Load Current Rating at 110V ................12.6 Amps  
Full-Load Current Rating at 220V................. 6.3 Amps  
Circuit Requirements for 110V (Prewired)  
NOTICE  
This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V power  
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the  
following requirements:  
The circuit requirements listed in this  
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—  
where only one machine will be running  
at a time. If this machine will be  
connected to a shared circuit where  
multiple machines will be running at  
the same time, consult a qualified  
electrician to ensure that the circuit is  
properly sized for safe operation.

Grounding Requirements  
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain  
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides  
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in  
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.  
The machine must be properly set up  
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT  
connect this machine to the power  
source until instructed to do later in  
this manual.  
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will  
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green  
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-  
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power  
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-  
grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Cleaning Machine  
Floor Load: This machine distributes a  
heavy load in a small footprint. Some  
residential floors may require additional  
bracing to support both machine and  
operator.  
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 chlorine-  
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or  
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a  
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.  
Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be  
processed through the machine, and space  
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other  
machinery when establishing a location for  
your Machine Type.  
NEVER use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents to clean with.  
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough  
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.  
Most  
points, which make them  
extremely flammable.  
have low flash  
Electrical: Electrical circuits must be  
dedicated or large enough to handle  
amperage requirements. Outlets must be  
located near each machine, so power or  
extension cords are clear of high-traffic  
areas. Follow local electrical codes for  
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,  
or circuits.  
A risk of explosion and  
burning exists if these  
products are used. Serious  
personal injury may occur  
if this warning is ignored!  
USE helpers or power  
lifting equipment to  
lift this Machine Name.  
Otherwise, serious per-  
sonal injury may occur.  
ALWAYS work in well-  
ventilated areas far from  
possible ignition sources  
when using solvents to  
clean machinery. Many  
solvents are toxic when  
inhaled or ingested. Use  
care when disposing  
of waste rags and  
towels to be sure they  
DO NOT create fire or  
environmental hazards.  
MAKE your shop “child  
safe.Ensure that your  
workplace is inaccessible  
to children by closing and  
locking all entrances when  
you are away. NEVER allow  
untrained visitors in your  
shop when assembling,  
adjusting or operating  
equipment.
