Additional Metal Bandsaw Safety  
6. Workpiece Handling. A shifting workpiece  
can result in impact or laceration injuries.  
To reduce the risk of injury, always securely  
clamp the workpiece in the vise and use  
additional support fixtures if needed. Never  
hold the workpiece with your hands during  
a cut. Flag long pieces to reduce the risk of  
tripping over them.  
1. Blade Condition. A dull or damaged  
blade can break apart during operation,  
increasing the risk of operator injury. Do  
not operate with a dull, cracked or badly  
worn blade. Inspect the blade for cracks or  
missing teeth before each use.  
2. Hand placement. Hands could be cut  
by the blade or crushed when lowering  
the headstock. Never position fingers or  
thumbs in line with the cut or under the  
headstock while it is moving.  
7. power interruption. Unplug the machine  
and turn the power switch OFF after a  
power interruption. If left plugged in and  
turned ON, this machine will start up when  
power is restored, resulting in possible  
entanglement, laceration, or amputation  
hazards.  
3. Blade guard. Hands and fingers can easily  
be cut by the bandsaw blade. To reduce the  
risk of laceration injuries, do not operate  
this bandsaw without the blade guard in  
place.  
8. Hot Surfaces/Sharp Edges. Due to the  
cutting process, a freshly cut workpiece,  
chips, and some machine components can be  
hot enough to burn you and sharp enough to  
cut you. Allow components to cool and use  
safe handling methods to reduce the risk of  
these injuries.  
4. Starting position. To reduce the  
likelihood of blade breakage and possible  
entanglement, never turn the saw ON  
with the blade resting on the workpiece.  
5. Blade Replacement. The blade can only  
make a safe and efficient cut if the teeth  
are facing the workpiece. When replacing  
blades, make sure the teeth face toward  
the workpiece. Wear gloves to protect  
hands and safety glasses to protect eyes.  
9. Moving Blade. A moving bandsaw blade  
presents a serious risk for laceration or  
amputation injuries. Always allow the blade  
to come to a complete stop before mounting  
or repositioning a workpiece in the vise.  
Never touch a moving blade.

functions properly and is ready for operation.  
things You'll Need  
The items listed below are required to  
successfully set up and prepare this machine for  
operation.  
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.  
For Lifting  
A forklift or other power lifting device rated  
for the weight of the machine.  
Lifting Straps or Chains (rated for at least  
1000 lbs. each)  
Full-Load Rating at 110V................... 18 Amps  
Full-Load Rating at 220V..................... 9 Amps  
For Machine Setup  
Wrench 12mm  
Wrench 14mm  
The full-load current is not the maximum  
amount of amps that the machine will draw. If  
the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional  
amps beyond the full-load rating.  
For power Connection  
A power source that meets the minimum  
circuit requirements for this machine. (Refer  
to the Power Supply Requirements  
section for details.)  
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient  
length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may

Cleaning & protecting  
The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory  
with a heavy-duty rust preventative that  
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.  
The benefit of this rust preventative is that it  
works very well. The downside is that it can be  
time-consuming to thoroughly remove.  
Many cleaning solvents are  
toxic if inhaled. Minimize  
your risk by only using  
these products in a well  
ventilated area.  
Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning  
and removing the rust preventative. The time  
you spend doing this will reward you with  
smooth-sliding parts and a better appreciation  
for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.  
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as  
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may  
damage painted surfaces. Always follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions when using any  
type of cleaning product.  
Although there are many ways to successfully  
remove the rust preventative, we have cleaned  
thousands of machines and found the following  
process to be the best balance between efficiency  
and minimized exposure to toxic fumes or  
chemicals.  
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:  
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.  
2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative  
with a liberal amount of your cleaner or  
degreaser and let them soak for a few  
minutes.  
Before cleaning, gather the following:  
Disposable rags  
Cleaner/degreaser (certain citrus-based  
degreasers work extremely well and they  
have non-toxic fumes)  
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or  
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative  
will wipe off easily.  
Safety glasses & disposable gloves  
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative  
on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use  
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the  
majority of the coating before wiping it off  
with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or  
it may scratch the surface.)  
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or  
WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative.  
Before using these products, though, test them  
on an inconspicuous area of a painted area to  
make sure they will not damage it.  
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,  
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a  
quality metal protectant or light oil to  
prevent rust.  
Gasoline and petroleum  
products have low flash  
points and can explode  
or cause fire if used for  
cleaning. Avoid using these  
products to remove rust  
preventative.

Lifting & Moving  
Leveling & Mounting  
Generally, you can either bolt your machine  
to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.  
Although not required, we recommend that you  
secure the machine to the floor and level it while  
doing so. Because this is an optional step and  
floor materials may vary, hardware for securing  
the machine to the floor is not included.  
this machine and its  
parts are heavy! Serious  
personal injury may occur  
if safe moving methods are  
not used. to reduce the  
risk of a lifting or dropping  
injury, ask others for help  
and use power equipment.  
We strongly recommend securing your  
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the  
power source. Consult with your electrician to  
ensure compliance with local codes.  
Unbolt the machine from its pallet, then insert  
two round steel bars through the lifting holes  
in the machine base. Attach lifting straps and  
hooks to the bars as shown in Figure 6. Lift  
the machine just high enough to clear the  
pallet, then move it to its final location. Have an  
assistant stabilize the machine while moving.  
Leveling  
Leveling machinery helps precision components,  
such as bed ways, remain straight and flat  
during the lifespan of the machine. Components  
on an unleveled machine may slowly twist due to  
the dynamic loads placed on the machine during  
operation.  
For best results, use a precision level that  
is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to  
show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim  
(approximately the thickness of one sheet of  
standard newspaper) is placed under one end of  
the level.  
See the figure below for an example of a high  
precision level.

Bolting to Concrete Floors  
Machine Mounts  
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs  
(below), are two popular methods for securing  
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you  
research the many options and methods for  
securing your machine and choose the best one  
for your specific application.  
Machine mounts are rubber pads mounted to  
a threaded stud, which can be fastened to the  
bottom of the machine.  
Machine mounts offer certain advantages such  
as ease of installation, vibration dampening, and  
easy leveling. They also make it easier to relocate  
the machine later on.  
Anchor  
Stud  
The disadvantage of machine mounts is that the  
machine can shift or move over time. For this  
reason, electrical codes may limit their use if  
the machine is hardwired to the power source.  
Also, mounts may reduce the total surface area  
of machine-to-floor contact, depending on the  
design of the machine.

Blade tension  
Blade Breakage  
Proper blade tension is essential to avoid blade  
vibration, twist, or`slippage on the wheels. A  
correctly tensioned blade provides long life,  
straight cuts, and efficient cutting times.  
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to  
break. Some of these conditions are unavoidable  
and are the natural result of the stresses placed  
on the bandsaw; other causes of blade breakage  
are avoidable.  
The three major signs of incorrect blade tension  
are: 1) The blade stalls in the cut and slips on the  
wheels, 2) the blade frequently breaks, and 3) the  
bandsaw does not make straight cuts.  
the most common causes of avoidable blade  
breakage are:  
Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade  
guides.  
to tension the blade on the bandsaw:  
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly.  
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a  
tight radius.  
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!  
Feeding the workpiece too fast.  
Dull or damaged teeth.  
Over-tensioned blade.  
3. Loosen and slide the blade guide as far out  
as it will go, then tighten it down again.  
4. Turn the tension knob in Figure 23

Blade Care & Break-in Downfeed Rate  
Start and stop downfeed with the downfeed knob.  
The downfeed rate is adjusted by turning the  
downfeed rate adjust knob (Figure 24). Turning  
the knob clockwise decreases the downfeed rate  
and turning the knob counterclockwise increases  
the downfeed rate.  
Blade Care  
To prolong blade life, always use a blade with  
the proper width, set, type, and pitch for each  
application. Maintain the appropriate feed rate,  
feed pressure, and blade speed and pay attention  
to the chip characteristics (Refer to the Chip  
Inspection Chart on Page 26). Keep your  
blades clean, since dirty or gummed up blades  
pass through the cutting material with much  
more resistance than clean blades, causing  
unnecessary heat.  
Downfeed Rate  
Adjust Knob  
Blade Break-in  
The tips and edges of a new blade are extremely  
sharp. Cutting at too fast of a feed rate or too  
slow of a blade speed can fracture these tips  
and edges, quickly dulling the blade. Properly  
breaking-in a blade allows these sharp edges  
to wear without fracturing, thus keeping the  
blade sharp longer. Below is a typical break-in  
procedure. For aftermarket blades, refer to the  
manufacturer's break-in procedure to keep from  
voiding the warranty.

Chip inspection Chart  
The best method for choosing the cutting speed and feed rate for a cutting operation is to inspect the  
chips created by the cut. These chips are indicators of what is commonly referred to as the "chip load."  
Refer to the chip inspection chart below to evaluate chip characteristics and determine whether to  
adjust feed rate/pressure, blade speed, or both.

4. Adjust the valves on the coolant hoses to  
control the flow of coolant (see Figure 35).  
Make sure that the pressure is not so high  
that coolant spills on the floor and creates a  
slipping hazard.  
Operation tips  
Review the following tips to help you safely and  
effectively operate your bandsaw and get the  
maximum life out of your saw blades.  
Use the work stop to quickly and accurately  
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same  
length.  
Coolant Control Valves  
Let the blade reach full speed before  
engaging the workpiece. Never start a cut  
with the blade in contact with the workpiece.  
Pay attention to the chips produced by the  
cutting operation and use their appearance  
to fine-tune the blade speed, feed speed,  
and pressure (refer to the Chip Inspection  
Chart on Page 26).  
Figure 35. Coolant control valve.  
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!  
NOTICE  
Keep the tray chip screen clear so coolant can  
recycle to the pump reservoir. NEVER operate  
the pump with the reservoir below the low  
mark or you may over-heat the pump and void  
your warranty!

SERViCE  
Blade Brush  
Angle Stops  
The Model SB1020 has a blade brush to help  
keep metal chips off the blade wheels. It will  
wear over time and require re-adjustment when  
it no longer contacts the blade.  
The swivel base is equipped with three angle  
stops to provide quick adjustments to 60° to the  
left, 0°, and 45 to the right°. If cuts made using  
these stops are not sufficiently accurate, the  
stops will need to be adjusted.

Limit Switches  
The Model SB1020 is equipped with limit  
switches that prevent the saw from operating  
if the blade is not properly tensioned and stop  
the saw motor when it reaches the end of a cut.  
If either of these functions does not operate  
correctly, you will need to adjust the appropriate  
limit switch.

to adjust the headstock travel switch:  
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!  
Downfeed Stop Bolt  
The Model SB1020 has an adjustable stop bolt to  
prevent the blade from contacting the table when  
the headstock reaches the bottom of its travel. If  
the blade contacts the table, or if the blade does  
not travel far enough to complete the cut, this  
bolt will have to be adjusted.  
2. Fully lower the headstock by opening the  
downfeed valve. Allow it to come to a stop on  
its own (see Downfeed Stop Bolt on this  
page for more details).  
3. Loosen the Phillips head screws that secure  
the blade travel limit switch shown in  
Figure 46.  
to adjust the downfeed stop bolt:  
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!  
2. Adjust the downfeed stop bolt and jam nut  
shown in Figure 48 with a 14mm wrench, so  
the bandsaw blade teeth are just below the  
table surface when the cut is complete.

4. If the blade is not square to the table, loosen  
the cap screws shown in Figure 49 one to  
two turns. Remove the blade brush assembly  
(refer to Page 37), then repeat for the second  
blade guide.  
Squaring Blade  
A blade that is perpendicular to the table surface  
provides the best cutting results with minimal  
side loading and blade wear. The blade is held  
perpendicular to the table by the two blade  
guides. Each guide is held in place by two cap  
screws and aligned with the four set screws  
shown in Figure 49.  
— If the top of the blade tilts away from  
the square, loosen the top two set screws  
shown in Figure 49 and tighten the  
bottom two set screws an equal amount  
while keeping an eye on the blade  
squareness (the amount you tighten and  
loosen the screws depends on how far  
from square the blade is). Repeat for the  
second blade guide.

Electrical Safety instructions  
These pages are accurate at the time of printing. In the constant effort to improve, however, we may  
make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If you see  
differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (360)  
734-1540 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine.  
1. Shock Hazard: It is extremely dangerous to  
perform electrical or wiring tasks while the  
machine is connected to the power source.  
Touching electrified parts will result in  
personal injury including but not limited to  
severe burns, electrocution, or death. For  
your own safety, disconnect machine from  
the power source before servicing electrical  
components or performing any wiring tasks!  
5. Circuit Requirements: Connecting the  
machine to an improperly sized circuit will  
greatly increase the risk of fire. To minimize  
this risk, only connect the machine to a  
power circuit that meets the minimum  
requirements given in this manual.  
6. Capacitors/Inverters: Some capacitors and  
power inverters store an electrical charge for  
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected  
from the power source. To reduce the risk of  
being shocked, wait at least this long before  
working on capacitors.  
2. Wire Connections: All connections must be  
tight to prevent wires from loosening during  
machine operation. Double-check all wires  
disconnected or connected during any wiring  
task to ensure tight connections.  
7. Wire/Component Damage: Damaged wires  
or components increase the risk of serious  
personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If  
you notice that any wires or components are  
damaged while performing a wiring task,  
replace those wires or components before  
completing the task.  
3. Modifications: Using aftermarket parts or  
modifying the wiring beyond what is shown  
in the diagram may lead to unpredictable  
results, including serious injury or fire.  
4. Motor Wiring: The motor wiring shown  
in these diagrams is current at the time of  
printing, but it may not match your machine.  
Always use the wiring diagram inside the
