Test Run
After all preparation steps have been completed,
the machine and its safety features must be
tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover
a problem with the operation of the machine or
its safety components, do not operate it further
until you have resolved the problem.
Note: Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 38 for
solutions to common problems that occur with
all metal bandsaws. If you need additional help,
contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-1540.
4. Connect the machine to the power source.
5. Push the ON button. The green motor light
will illuminate and the motor will start.
6. Verify that the machine is operating
correctly. When operating correctly, the
machine runs smoothly with little or no
vibration or rubbing noises.
Note: For three phase-models, verify that the
blade is moving downward toward the table.
If so, the motor is running in the correct
direction. Proceed to Step 7.
s If the blade is moving in the upward
direction out of the table, stop the
machine immediately. It is likely wired
"out of phase." To correct this problem,
disconnect the machine from the power
source, and switch any two incoming
power wires at the main terminal block
(refer to Figure 50 on Page 48).
7. Adjust the blade speed through the full
range of operation. The speed should change
as you make the adjustments.
8. Press the STOP button, the green motor
light will go out, and the bandsaw will stop.
9. Turn the work lamp and the welding lamp
ON and OFF.
10. Turn the grinder ON and OFF.
