FORWARD
The Model 1118,1338 and 1348 Wellsaw bandsaws have been designed and manufactured to
conform to Wellsaw’s recognized high standards of quality and performance. Each saw must
pass a series of final inspection tests, including actual metal cutting operations, before it is
shipped. For this saw to provide satisfactory service, it is necessary that it be properly installed,
operated and maintained. This manual has been prepared to assist you in carrying out these
functions. We urge you to study this manual and follow its suggestions.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Carefully remove the wrap and skid so the saw and its parts are not marred or otherwise
damaged. In the event of damage in transit, notify the carrier and file a Proof of Loss Claim
immediately.
Shortages
Inspect the complete shipment carefully against the itemized packing list. Make sure that all
items are present and in good condition. In the event of any shortage, notify the distributor from
whom you purchased the saw and the carrier who made final delivery.
Utility Hook-Up
The use of a qualified electrician is always recommended when connecting the saw to the main
power supply. Electrical codes differ from area to area and it is the customer’s responsibility to
ensure that their saw complies with applicable codes. Your Wellsaw is pre-wired at the factory
for a specified voltage. Always check the motor and electrical panel to ensure that they are both
wired to correspond to your electrical power supply.
