Safety Instructions for Machinery  
DISCONNECTING POWER SUPPLY. Always  
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, dis-  
connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out  
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially  
around children. Make workshop kid proof!  
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.  
INTENDED USE. Only use the machine for its  
intended purpose and only use recommended  
accessories. Never stand on machine, modify  
it for an alternative use, or outfit it with non-  
approved accessories.  
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children  
and bystanders a safe distance away from work  
area. Stop using machine if children or bystand-  
ers become a distraction.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
FORCINGMACHINERY.Donotforcemachine.  
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for  
which it was designed.  
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave  
machine running while unattended. Turn machine  
Off and ensure all moving parts completely stop  
before walking away.  
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers can  
protect you from accidental contact with mov-  
ing parts or flying debris. Make sure they are  
properly installed, undamaged, and working  
correctly before using machine.  
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION. A machine that  
is not properly maintained may operate unpre-  
dictably. Follow all maintenance instructions and  
lubrication schedules to keep machine in good  
working condition. Regularly inspect machine for  
loose bolts, alignment of critical parts, binding, or  
any other conditions that may affect safe opera-  
tion. Always repair or replace damaged or mis-  
adjusted parts before operating machine.  
REMOVING TOOLS. Never leave adjustment  
tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in or on  
machine—especially near moving parts. Verify  
removal before starting!  
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper foot-  
ing and balance at all times when operating  
machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward  
hand positions that make workpiece control dif-  
ficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.  
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time  
you are experiencing difficulties performing the  
intended operation, stop using the machine!  
Contact our Technical Support Department at  
(570) 546-9663.

Safety Instructions for Metal Cutting  
Bandsaws  
1. BLADE CONDITION. do not operate with  
dull, cracked or badly worn blade that can  
break during operation or decrease the per-  
formance of the bandsaw. inspect blades  
for cracks and missing teeth before each  
use.  
7. CUTTING fLUID SAfETy. Cutting fluids  
are poisonous. Always follow manufactur-  
ers cutting-fluid safety instructions. pay  
particular attention to contact, contamina-  
tion, inhalation, storage and disposal warn-  
ings. spilled cutting fluid invites slipping  
hazards.  
2. BLADE REPLACEMENT. Wear gloves to  
protect hands and safety glasses to pro-  
tect eyes when replacing the blade. When  
replacing blades, make sure teeth face  
forward and down toward the table in the  
direction of blade travel.  
8. ENTANGLEMENT hAZARDS. Always  
keep the blade guard correctly positioned  
and wheel doors closed and secured when  
bandsaw is in operation. loose clothing,  
jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be  
drawn into working parts.  
3. WORKPIECE hANDLING. your hands can  
be drawn into the blade during operation if  
the workpiece moves unexpectedly. Always  
keep your hands a safe distance away from  
the moving blade.  
9. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspections,  
adjustments, and maintenance are to be  
done with the power OFF and the plug  
pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving  
parts to come to a complete stop.  
4. fIRE hAZARD. Use EXtrEME CAUtioN  
if cutting magnesium. Using the wrong cut-  
ting fluid will lead to chip fire and possible  
explosion.  
10. UNSTABLE WORKPIECES. Workpieces  
that cannot be supported or stabilized with-  
out a vise or jig should not be cut on a verti-  
cal metal-cutting bandsaw, because they  
can unexpectedly move while cutting and  
draw the operator's hands into the blade  
causing serious personal injury. Examples  
are chains, cables, round or oblong-shaped  
workpieces, workpieces with internal or  
built-in moving or rotations parts, etc.  
5. WELDING AND GRINDING SAfETy. the  
welding station represents a serious hazard.  
do Not touch any metal parts of the blade,  
welder, or machine when activating the  
welder. Keep your hands a safe distance  
away from the grinding wheel when in use.  
11. EXPERIENCING DIffICULTy. if at any  
time you are experiencing difficulties per-  
forming the intended operation, stop using  
the machine! Contact our technical support  
department at (570) 546-9663.  
6. hOT SURfACES. Be aware that touch-  
ing hot workpieces or chips after welding,  
grinding, or cutting can cause burns.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always con-  
sider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machin-  
ery with caution and respect. failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to  
equipment, or poor work results.

Mounting to Shop  
Moving & Placing  
floor  
the bandsaw center of gravity is above the middle  
of the machine. Although not required, we strong-  
ly recommend that you mount your new machine  
to the floor to prevent tipping. Because this is an  
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor  
mounting hardware is not included.  
This bandsaw is a heavy  
machine. Serious per-  
sonal injury may occur if  
safe moving methods are  
not used. To be safe, get  
assistance and use power  
equipment rated for over  
1000 lbs. to move the ship-  
ping crate and remove the  
machine from the crate.  
Bolting to Concrete floors  
Anchor studs and lag bolts (figure 10) are two  
popular methods for anchoring an object to a con-  
crete floor. We suggest you research the many  
options and methods for mounting your machine  
and choose the best that fits your specific applica-  
tion.  
To lift and move the bandsaw:  
1. position lifting straps under the head of the  
bandsaw and on the forklift forks, as shown  
in figure 11.  
NOTICE  
Anchor studs are stronger and more perma-  
nent alternatives to lag bolts; however, they  
will stick out of the floor, which may cause  
a tripping hazard if you decide to move your  
machine.  
Anchor stud

and forklift forks.  
lag Anchor & Bolt  
Only us lifting straps and power lifting  
equipment rated for at least 1000 lbs., and  
in good working condition. If the bandsaw  
should fall or tip over while moving it, seri-  
ous personal injury and property damage  
could result.

Blade Width  
Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of  
the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is  
often the first consideration given to blade selec-  
tion. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest  
curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately  
it can cut a straight line—generally the wider the  
blade, the straighter it will cut.

Variable Pitch with Positive Rake: Varying gul-  
let depth and tooth spacing, a positive rake angle,  
better chip formation, and aggressive cutting.  
Raker: three teeth in a recurring groupone bent  
left, next one bent right, and then a non-set tooth.  
the raker set is ideal for most contour cuts.

Blade Breakage  
Blade Care &  
Break-In  
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to  
break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some  
cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar  
stresses that bandsaw blades must endure. Blade  
breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances.  
Avoidable blade breakage is most often the result  
of poor care or judgement on the part of the  
operator when mounting or adjusting the blade or  
support guides.  
Blade Care  
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that  
is subjected to tremendous strain. you can obtain  
longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair  
treatment and always use the appropriate feed  
rate for your operation.  
Be sure to select blades with the proper width,  
set, type, and pitch for each application. the  
wrong blades will produces unnecessary heat and  
shortens the life of the blade.  
The most common causes of blade breakage  
are:  
Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade  
guides.  
A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty  
blade. dirty or gummed up blades pass through  
the cutting material with much more resistance  
than clean blades. this extra resistance also  
causes unnecessary heat.  
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a  
short radius.  
Feeding the workpiece too fast.  
dull or damaged teeth.  
Blade Break-In  
the sharp teeth tips and edges of a new blade are  
extremely sharp, and cutting at too fast of a feed  
rate fractures of the beveled edges of the teeth  
and causes premature blade wear.  
over-tensioned blade.  
top blade guide assembly set too high above  
the workpiece. Adjust the top blade guide  
assembly so that there is approximately  
To properly break-in a new blade:  
1
8"–14" between the bottom of the assembly  
and the workpiece.  
1. Choose the correct speed for the blade and  
material of the operation.  
Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-  
ished braze or weld.  
2. reduce the feed pressure by half for the first  
50–100 in2 of material cut.  
Continuously running the bandsaw when not  
in use.  
3. to avoid twisting the blade when cutting,

leaving the blade tensioned when not in  
use.  
4. Use the Chip Inspection Chart on Page 27  
to check the blade efficiency.  
Using the wrong pitch (tpi) for the workpiece  
thickness. the general rule of thumb is to  
have not less than two teeth in contact with  
the workpiece at all times during cutting.

blade changes  
Cutting Overview  
Blade Changes  
the vertical metal cutting bandsaw has a flexible  
continuous blade that cuts in one direction. the  
type of bandsaw blade and the speed of the blade  
to be used depends on the workpiece material  
and the type of cut required.  
Alwaysdisconnectpower  
to the machine when  
changing blades. failure  
to do this may result in  
serious personal injury.  
this type of bandsaw can be used for straight cuts,  
angular cuts, and curved or contour cuts. straight  
cuts are made using workpiece fixtures and with  
a light, even pressure against the blade. Angular  
cuts are made with the table and workpiece tilted  
at an angle other than "0".  
All saw blades are dan-  
gerous and may cause  
personalinjury.Toreduce  
the risk of being injured,  
wear leather gloves when  
handling saw blades.  
When an internal contour cut is to be made, a  
hole must be drilled in the workpiece. the blade  
is then cut, fed through the hole in the workpiece,  
welded together again using the welding station,  
and re-installed on the bandsaw to make the cut.  
the welding station can also be used to fabricate  
new blades and repair broken blades.  
To replace the blade:  
1. disCoNNECt BANdsAW FroM poWEr!  
2. open the upper and lower wheel doors.  
the blade is supported by upper and lower tung-  
sten steel blade guides that keep the blade from  
wandering during the cut.  
3. release tension on the blade by rotating the  
tensioning handwheel.  
the efficiency of the cutting operation can be eas-  
ily checked by examining the form and color of the  
metal chips.  
4. put on heavy gloves, then slide the blade  
off the upper and lower wheels, around the  
blade post, and through the table slit.  
5. install a new blade in reverse order.  
ELECTROCUTION hAZARD  
This bandsaw is not designed to be used  
with water soluble cutting fluid or coolant.  
If needed, use a small amount of oil-based  
lubricant.  
Workpieces that cannot be supported or  
stabilized without a vise or jig should not  
be cut on a vertical metal-cutting bandsaw,  
because they can unexpectedly move while  
cutting and draw the operator's hands into  
the blade causing serious personal inju-  
ry. Examples are chains, cables, round or  
oblong-shaped workpieces, workpieces  
with internal or built-in moving or rotations  
parts, etc.

6. position the back edge of the blade so that  
it is next to, but not against, the flange of the  
top wheel (see figure 22).  
Blade Tensioning  
Note: Excessive blade contact with the wheel  
flange during operation could lead to blade  
and wheel damage.  
NOTICE  
To prolong blade life, release the tension on  
the blade if the machine will be idle for an  
extended period of time.

pressure is applied (see figure 23).  
7. rotate the top wheel by hand several times  
to make sure the blade tracks evenly without  
wandering across the wheel surface.  
Note: The quickest and easiest way to  
check blade tension is to use the Model  
H5408 Blade Tensioning Gauge to reach a  
blade tension of 25,000–30,000 PSI (refer to  
Page 36)  
Note: If the blade does wander across the  
wheel and away from the flange, the wheel  
alignment may need to be adjusted. Refer to  
Wheel Alignment on Page 42 for detailed  
instructions.

blade welding  
Blade Welding  
Being able to quickly and safely weld a bandsaw  
blade comes in handy for the following situa-  
tions:  
to repair a broken blade that is still sharp and  
useful.  
to fabricate a new blade from a larger sec-  
tion of blade material to fit your bandsaw.  
to re-join a blade that has been purposely  
cut for making an internal contour cut.  
figure 32. Using the blade shear to cut the  
blade.  
your metal cutting bandsaw is equipped with a  
blade welder that uses electrical resistance to  
heat and fuse the blade ends together. this pro-  
cess will leave the joint brittle, so it will need to be  
annealed to give it strength and flexibility.  
Note: To make a proper blade weld, the ends  
of the blade must be evenly butted together  
during the welding process. If necessary, use  
the grinder to square up the ends or remove  
any teeth that are in the welding zone (see  
Figures 33–34).  
The electric current that flows through the  
blade welder during operation could cause  
serious personal injury or death. To avoid  
the risk of electrocution, never touch any  
metal part of the welding station during  
blade welding or annealing.  
To weld the ends of bandsaw together:  
1. turn the bandsaw motor OFF.  
2. place the blade evenly against the back of  
the blade shear and firmly pull the handle  
down to square off the blade end (see figure  
32).

3. loosen the welding clamps by pulling the  
lock levers down.  
6. place the other blade end in the opposite  
welding clamp and position it so that it evenly  
butts up against the opposing blade end, then  
lock it in place by rotating the lock lever all the  
way up, as shown in figure 36.  
4. position the back of one blade end evenly  
against the back of the welding clamp so that  
the end is midway between the two clamps,  
then rotate the lock lever all the way up to  
hold the blade end in place (see figure 35).  
Note: For a good blade weld, it is critical that  
the blade ends evenly butt up against each  
other.

9. rotate the lock levers down to release the  
welding clamps, then rotate the clamping  
pressure dial to "0".  
15. Allow the blade to cool, then re-inspect the  
weld.  
16. grind away the weld flash flat on the top and  
bottom of the joint so that the blade will run  
smoothly on the wheels.  
10. inspect the weld. the welded joint should be  
even across the width of the blade with no  
gaps (see figure 38).  
Note: Make sure not to grind the teeth or  
blade body, or overheat the blade during  
grinding—this will weaken the blade.

17. re-clamp the blade in the welding clamps  
with the joint centered, then repeat Step 13  
twice more.  
Not Correct  
18. test the strength and flexibility of the weld by

NOTICE  
for good metal-to-metal contact between  
the welding clamps and the blade, make  
sure the blade material and the clamps are  
free from any debris or flash before each  
use.  
13. rapidly press and release—do Not hold—  
the annealing button two or three times until  
the weld zone turns dull red.  
14. repeat Step 13 three to four more times,  
allowing the weld to cool for about 30 sec-  
onds between each repetition.

the chip pan (see figure 43).  
Always disconnect power  
to the machine before  
performing maintenance.  
failure to do this may  
result in serious person-  
al injury.  
Schedule  
For optimum performance from your machine,  
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any  
specific instructions given in this section.

Daily:  
Redressing Rubber  
Tires  
Check/correct loose mounting bolts.  
Check/correct damaged or dull saw blade.  
Check/correct worn or damaged wires.  
Clean/protect table.  
Clean metal chips from upper and lower  
wheel areas, and empty bottom chip pan.  
Correct any other unsafe condition.  
As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the  
wheel may need to be redressed if they become  
hardened or glazed over. redressing the rubber  
tires improves blade tracking and reduces vibra-  
tion/blade lead.  
Monthly:  
Check for V-belt tension, damage, or wear.  
lubricate tension leadscrews and guide post  
rack.  
remove the blade and clean the wheels.  
if the rubber tires become too worn, then blade  
tracking will become extremely difficult. At that  
point, redressing will no longer be effective, and  
the rubber tires must be replaced.  
To redress the rubber tires:  
Cleaning  
1. disCoNNECt BANdsAW FroM poWEr!  
2. put on heavy gloves and remove the blade.  
Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove chips  
and other debris from the machine. Keep the table  
rust-free with regular applications of products like  
g96® gun treatment, slipit®, or Boeshield® t-  
9 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 36 for  
more details).  
3. Use a brush and shop vacuum to clean any  
chips from the rubber tires.  
4. hold a piece of 100-grit sandpaper against  
the rubber tire and rotate the wheel by hand.  
only redress the rubber enough to expose a  
fresh rubber surface.  
once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly  
clean all metal chips or built-up grease from the  
wheel surfaces. redress the rubber tires if neces-  
sary.

if the table becomes difficult to tilt, position it so  
that you can brush a thin coat of multi-purpose  
grease on the trunnion surface (see figure 46).  
Lubrication  
the bearings on your bandsaw are factory lubri-  
cated and sealed. Merely leave them alone unless  
they need to be replaced.  
When needed, brush a light coat of multi-purpose  
grease on the tension leadscrew (all Models) and  
guide post rack (Model g8146z only) to maintain  
smooth operation (see figures 44 & 45).

tensioning/replacing v-belts  
V-Belt Pulley  
Tensioning/  
Replacing V-Belts  
Alignment  
the correct alignment of the motor and lower  
wheel pulleys helps to ensure correct and even  
tension of the V-belts, proper power transmission,  
and reduced V-belt heat and wear during opera-  
tion.  
to ensure optimum power transfer from the motor  
to the blade without slipping, the V-belts must be  
in good condition and operate under proper ten-  
sion. Check V-belt tension at least every three  
months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily.  
V-belts stretch with use and must be periodically  
re-tensioned.  
remove the rear motor access panel, and use  
a straightedge across both pulleys, as shown in  
figure 47, to check the pulley alignment.  
replace the V-belts as a matched set if they are  
cracked, frayed, or excessively worn.  
To check/tension/replace the V-belts:  
1. disCoNNECt BANdsAW FroM poWEr!  
2. remove the rear motor access panel.  
Wheel pulley

3. Make sure the motor and lower wheel pulleys  
are correctly aligned.  
4. push the center of each V-belt as illustrated  
in figure 48, using moderate force. When  
tensioned correctly, the deflection should be

—if the deflection is correct and the V-belts  
are in good condition, no further action is  
required. replace the rear motor access  
panel.  
Wheel Alignment  
When the wheels are coplanar (in the same  
plane), the bandsaw cuts straighter, with much  
less vibration, heat, and blade wear because the  
blade is continuously balanced on the wheels.  
refer to figure 50 to better understand this  
arrangement.  
—if the deflection is more than or less than

checking coplanarity  
Note: The lower wheel adjusting assemblies  
have a locking hex bolt threaded into an  
adjusting sleeve.  
Checking Wheel Coplanarity  
1. disCoNNECt BANdsAW FroM poWEr!  
2. remove the table assembly from the  
machine.  
2. Use a 17mm wrench to loosen the locking  
hex bolts.  
3. Make sure the blade is correctly installed and  
tensioned.  
3. Use a 21mm wrench to loosen or tighten the  
adjusting sleeves as necessary to bring the  
lower wheel coplanar with the upper wheel.  
4. hold a self-made coplanarity gauge (see  
figure 50) close to the center of both wheels,  
making sure that the gauge fully extends  
across the wheels as shown in figure 50.  
Example 1: If the top of the lower wheel  
leans to far forward (see the top right exam-  
ple in Figure 50), thread the top two adjusting  
sleeves out.  
—if the wheels are coplaner (in the same  
plane), the gauge will evenly touch the top  
and bottom of both wheels.  
Example 2: Alternately, if the lower wheel  
is parallel to the upper wheel but behind the  
plane of the upper wheel (see bottom right  
example in Figure 50), then thread all four  
adjusting sleeves in.  
—if the wheels are Not coplanar, place the  
coplanarity gauge on the upper wheel first,  
ensuring that it touches both the top and  
bottom rim. then adjust the lower wheel to  
be coplanar with the upper wheel.  
4. re-tighten the locking hex bolts to secure the  
settings of the adjusting sleeves.  
Note: The upper wheel of the Model G8146Z  
can also be adjusted. To do this, refer to the  
detailed instructions later in this subsection.  
5. re-check the wheels for alignment and repeat  
the steps above if necessary.  
6. re-check the pulley alignment and V-belt  
tension (Page 41).  
Adjusting Lower Wheel  
7. re-install the table and check its alignment  
with the blade (Page 44).

Adjusting Upper Wheel  
(Model G8146Z only)  
the Model g8146z upper wheel adjusting fasten-  
ers consist of four locking hex bolts and four adjust-  
ing hex bolts with jam nuts (see figure 52).  
Aligning Table To  
Blade  
to ensure the angle accuracy of the cut, the table  
must be 90° to the blade from front-to-back and  
side-to-side. if the table is not square to the blade,  
it needs to be adjusted.  
To adjust the table square to the blade:  
locking hex Bolt  
1. disCoNNECt BANdsAW FroM poWEr!  
2. Make sure the wheels are coplanar (Page  
43) and the blade is properly tensioned  
(Page 29).  
Adjusting

& Jam Nut  
3. set the angle of the table to "0".  
4. Use a square to check table alignment with  
the blade, as shown in figure 53.  
figure 52. Model g8146z upper wheel adjusting  
fasteners.  
To adjust the Model G8146Z upper wheel:  
1. Complete all steps in the Checking Wheel  
Coplanarity subsection on Page 43.  
2. Use a 17mm wrench to loosen the locking  
hex bolts and a 12 mm wrench to loosen the  
jam nuts on the upper wheel (see figure  
52).  
Note: Threading an adjusting hex bolt in  
will force that part of the wheel forward.  
Conversely, threading an adjusting hex bolt  
out will pull that wheel section to the rear of  
the machine when the locking hex bolt is re-  
tightened.
