INSTALLATION

MOVING & INSTALLING THE BANDSAW

CAUTION The bandsaw is heavy - over 300 lbs! It is best to assemble the machine near the area where it will eventually reside. When moving or positioning an assembled bandsaw, DO NOT use the table or upper blade guard assemblies as this may damage the machine. Move the bandsaw by grasping the support column and lower frame which are all welded together for rigidity. The bandsaw can also be moved by laying it down on the back/left side of the column so that the table assembly is not compromised.

1. Carefully remove the machine from the shipping carton. See above instructions on handling the saw.

2. Position the machine on a solid, level foundation that is located in an area that has ample space in front, right side and in back of the bandsaw for cutting large or long material.
   For best power and safety, the bandsaw should be plugged directly into a dedicated grounded electrical outlet that is within the supplied cord length of the machine. The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

3. Align the machine so that during use, the material being cut will not face aisles, doorways, or other work areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use the machine in damp or wet conditions.
4. Once in place in your shop, level the machine with spacers, and secure it to the floor with lag screws (not supplied) using the 4 holes in the saw's base.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.

NOTE: Parts referenced throughout the manual refer to the different sheets and key numbers of the Parts Diagrams and Parts Lists on pages 28 to 37. Example: (#1A) refers to Part #1 on Sheet A.

TABLE ASSEMBLY

1. Mount the table (Fig. 1) in place on the trunnion with the assistance of another person. The table is heavy! Do this from the rear of the machine, so that it is easier to fit the pre-installed blade through the slot in the table.
2. Attach the table to the trunnion with the four Hex Socket Cap Screws, Spring Washers and Washers (Parts #13B, 12B, 11B). Install two bolts to the right of the blade, hand tightened only. Fig. 2. Then tip the table to 45 degrees and install the two bolts to the left of the blade. Fig. 3. DO NOT fully tighten the bolts at this time. Return the table to the horizontal position.

NOTE: Before finally secured in position, the table can be slightly moved, left and right. Check to make sure that the table's miter gauge slot is parallel to the side of the saw blade. This will provide a true cut when ripping stock. Set a thin metal ruler against the side of the saw blade. Make sure that it is not touching the saw's teeth, which can angle the ruler. Measure the distance from one end of the ruler to the miter gauge slot. FIG. 4. Then measure the same distance from the other end of the ruler to the miter gauge slot. Compare these two measurements and angle the table as necessary until the distances are the same.

1. Once the table is aligned parallel to blade, tighten all four of the installed bolts to secure the table in place.

2. Attach the Table Leveling Pin's Lanyard (Part #5B) to the front of the table with the supplied Phillips Screw and Washer. This metal pin keeps the two sides of the table level at the slot area.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE TENSION

CAUTION

Always tension the blade with the Quick Release Lever (#19D) in the "ON" position. Failure to do so could result in lack of blade tension or tension failure. Figure 17.

NOTE: Release / turn 'OFF' the Tension Lever ONLY to change the blade, or to prolong the life of the blade when the saw is not in use for extended periods.

1. To adjust the blade tension, turn the Blade Tension Handwheel (#17D, Fig. 18, A).

To tighten the tension of the blade, turn the hand wheel clockwise. Tension the blade until the Tension Indicator Arrow (#6A, Fig. 18, B) corresponds to the width of blade you are using. View the indicator Arrow through the top door's front window.

NOTE: The blade tension scale may read differently due to different blade specifications from manufacturers - steel thickness, material, or variations in the welded blade length. It may be necessary to adjust the tension arrow up/down one size on blade tension scale to match your blade. Note the blade setting for the next time the same blade is used.

General Rule for blade tension: With the saw unplugged and the blade guard up, the saw blade should deflect about 1/4" when pressed with a finger to the side of the blade.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE TENSION STOP

If you can not set full tension on a new blade, the blade is most likely welded a bit longer than the standard 153" length, and so just beyond the pre-set tensioning range of the saw. To fix this, behind the top bandsaw wheel is Set Screw (#1D). Loosen the Nut (#2D) and turn the screw upward about 1/4", then retighten the securing nut. This will increase the blade tensioning range of the saw for your new blade.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDES

The 10-342 Bandsaw features quick-adjusting, spring loaded, ball bearing blade guides for fast and easy setting to the blades. With the bandsaw blade properly centered on the drive wheels, the guide bearings can then be set. To adjust the blade guides:

Upper Guides:

1. Position the right and left roller guides relatively close to the blade. First, loosen their front Lock Handles (#21C, Fig 22, A). The Guide Shafts (#25C) that hold the guide bearings are spring loaded! To move the guides towards the blade, simply push the ends of the guide shafts (B), or use the front lock handles to pull the guides towards the blade. Lock the guides in place with the front handles. Fig. 22.
2. The guides should be approximately 1/16" behind the gullets of the saw blade. If they need to be moved, loosen the back Clamp Handle (#31C, Fig. 23, C) and move the Upper Guide Block (#20C, D) that holds the guides so that the guides are properly positioned behind the blade gullets. Re-tighten the handle when done. Fig. 23.
3. Set both bearing guides to within 1/32" of the saw blade - about the same thickness of a business card. Do not set the bearing guides too close, or touch the sides of the blade, as this will adversely affect the life of the saw blade and bearings.
4. Adjust the rear bearing guide (Fig. 23, E) to be just clear of the back of the saw blade. Release the guide's Locking Handle (#17C, F) and move the rear guide towards the blade by pushing the end of the Rear Guide Shaft (#27C, Fig. 24, G) located at the rear of the block. Tighten the handle when done.

Lower Guides:

Adjusting the lower ball bearing guides, that are below the table, is similar to the steps taken for the upper guides.

1. Position the right and left roller guides close to the blade. Loosen the front Lock Handles (#38A, Fig. 25, A). Move the guides towards the blade by pushing the ends of the Guide Shafts (#42A, B), or use the front lock handles to pull the guides towards the blade.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDES - continued

Lower Guides - continued:

1. The guides should be approximately 1/16" behind the gullets of the saw blade. If they need to be moved, loosen the Lock Handle (#47A, Fig. 26, A), located to the left of the Lower Guide Block (#44A, B), and move this block that holds the guides so that the guides are properly positioned behind the blade gullets. Re-tighten the lever handle when done.
2. Set both bearing guides to within 1/32" of the saw blade's sides - about the same thickness of a business card. Do not set the bearing guides too close, or touch the sides of the blade, as this will adversely affect the life of the blade and bearings.
3. Adjust the rear bearing guide to be just clear of the back of the saw blade. Release the guide's Locking Handle (Fig. 27, C) and move the rear guide towards the blade by pushing the end of the Rear Guide Shaft (#49A). This shaft extends through the bottom frame for easy access. Tighten the handle when done.

NOTE: Before cutting, set the upper guide bearings approximately 1/4" above the top surface of the work piece. This will give the best blade control. Fig. 28.

1. Loosen the Guidepost Lock Knob (#1C, Fig. 29A) and turn the Guidepost Handle (#38C, Fig. 30, B) to raise or lower the guide post/upper blade guide assembly to the desired height. A measurement scale has been supplied on the right side of the guide post for quick reference on the height of the guide bearings above the table surface.
2. When the guide bearings are in proper position, re-tighten the guidepost lock knob.

NOTE: The guide post is pre-set at the factory to aligned vertical with the bandsaw blade. If the guide post setting ever needs slight adjustment:

1. Open the top door and lower the blade guard all the way down to the table to access the Guide Bracket (#4C). Fig. 31.
2. Loosen the four Hex Bolts (#2C) located at the rear of the top frame. (Fig. 29, C). This will allow the

1. There are also four Set Screws (#5C) set in the rear of the guide bracket near the corners. If the guard post needs to be angled slightly towards the front or back of the table, or even twisted on an angle, make the adjustment with these screws. Fig. 31.

2. Advancing the top two set screws will angle the post towards the rear of the table.

3. Advancing the bottom two set screws will angle the post towards the front of the table.

4. Setting the two left or right screws will angle the post to the right or left.

5. When the post is adjusted vertical, tighten the four hex bolts that were loosened in step 4.

The 10-342 Bandsaw features an innovative fence system that will easily adjust to eliminate 'drift', and bring the fence back to being parallel to the blade. Plus, it allows quick changing of the fence from a vertical to horizontal position, or for use to the left or right of the blade. To adjust the fence for drift:

1. Loosen the side Handle (#7E, Fig. 32, A) which holds the rip fence again the Fence Carrier (#9E, B).
2. Loosen the Locking Knob (#2E, Fig. 32, C).
3. Turn the top Adjusting Handle (#1E, D) to position the fence left or right as needed to align it parallel to the blade and miter saw slots in the table. The handle turns a Cam (#4E, E) that presses against the fence and pivots it as needed.
4. Once the fence is set, tighten the Handle and Knob that were loosened in steps 1 and 2.

ADJUSTING THE FENCE 90° TO THE TABLE

Check that the fence is 90 degrees to the table using a suitable square. If adjustments are required, raise or lower either side of the fence's Guide Rail until the fence body is 90 degree to the table. Once set at 90 degrees, fully tighten the fence bar nuts. FIG. 33. See page 11 for the guide rail installation process.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE FENCE TO THE TABLE

Check that the fence is lying flat, or parallel to the table surface. The gap between the table and the bottom of the fence should be equal along the whole length of the fence. If a slight adjustment is necessary, the front rail will need to adjusted - moving it up or down to raise or lower the fence distance over the table. Fig. 34.

Refer to page 11 for instructions on the mounting and re-positioning of the front fence rail.

The fence can be changed from a vertical position to a horizontal position, or from its mounting on the left side of the blade to the right with simple adjustments of the carrier's handles and hardware.

To change the fence from vertical to horizontal:

1. Loosen the side Handle (#7E, Fig. 35, A) which holds the rip fence again the Fence Carrier (#9E, B).
2. Slide the fence forward to remove it from the carrier's Sliding Block (#11E, Fig. 35, C).
3. Turn the fence down to its horizontal position and slide it back onto the carrier. The bottom of the fence is slotted to mount on the sliding block, and position itself on the small, raised key (Fig. 35, D) on the side of the carrier. Fig. 36.
4. Once in place, retighten the side handle to secure the fence in position on the carrier.
5. Check the fence for drift, and make corrections if needed per instructions on page 18.

To change the fence from the left side of the carrier to the right side for using the rip fence to the right of the blade:

1. Loosen the side Handle (#7E, Fig. 35, A) which holds the rip fence again the Fence Carrier (#9E, B).
2. Slide the fence forward to remove it from the carrier's Sliding Block (#11E, C). Move the carrier on the front rail to the right side of the table and blade.

PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.

ADJUSTING THE DRIVE BELT TENSION

Check the Drive Belt (#10F, FIG. 39, A) tension with thumb pressure. The drive belt should not give more than 3/8" TO 1/2" in the center. DO NOT over tension the belt as this can put excessive, damaging pressure on the belt, pulleys and motor. Fig. 40. To adjust the tension:

1. Loosen the two Hex Bolts (#25A, 27A, Fig. 39, B) that secure the motor to the frame.
2. Loosen the Hex Nut on the top of the Motor Pulling Rod (#26A, Fig. 39, C). The motor should now be loose to move downward for adjusting the belt.
3. For less tension on the drive belt, push the motor downward.
4. For more tension on the drive belt, lift the motor upwards. NOTE: There is a second hex nut on the motor pulling rod that is located under the frame. This second hex nut (Fig. 39, D) must be loosened to allow the motor to be lifted upwards.
5. When the belt tension is correct, tighten all the motor mounting nuts from steps 1, 2 and 4 above.

SEE PAGE 23 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON CHANGING THE DRIVE BELT.

LEVELING THE TABLE INSERT

The table insert has an innovative, built-in micro adjustment feature to use if the insert sits too high or too low in the table seat. If the insert is resting above the table, turn the hex screws counter-clockwise to lower the insert. If the insert is sitting below the table surface, turn the hex screws clockwise to raise the insert level with the table surface. Fig. 41.

CAUTION: Having the insert below the table surface could cause the workpiece to get stuck on the lip of the table seat behind the blade, stopping your cut.

OPERATION

METAL CUTTING

The 10-342EVS Wood/Metal bandsaw is designed for DRY CUTTING ONLY.

Do not use lubricants or coolants with this bandsaw.

Proper blade selection for the material to be cut is key to good performance. Do not force the material into the blade as excessive heat will lead to premature blade failure. Poor cutting results will also occur. Always keep three teeth in the material being cut.

Stack or bundle cutting is not recommended with this bandsaw. When cutting round stock, use jigs or wedges to prevent the material from rolling into the cut.

Blade speed differs for each type or grade of metal to be cut. Below is a chart of common materials and the suggested blade speeds. The speeds shown have been reduced by 30% for dry cutting operations. It may be necessary to reduce an additional 15% due to material hardness. Changing blade type/style will also help performance.

NOTE: Blade speed and performance depend on proper blade selection. Consult your blade manufacturer for the proper blade style and speed required for the material to be cut.

METAL TYPE	BLADE SPEED -Ft/Min
Brass Alloys	140-154
Bronze Alloys	80-230
Cast Iron	80-157
Copper Alloys	112-206
Cr-Mo Alloy	136-164
Low/Med Carbon Steel	161-189
Stainless Steel	80-95

CUTTING PLASTIC/COMPOSITE MATERIAL

The 10-342EVS Wood/Metal bandsaw is also designed for cutting plastics and composite materials.

As always, selecting the proper blade for the material to be cut is key to getting good performance. Do not force the material into the blade as excessive heat will lead to premature blade failure and poor cutting results will also occur.

Stack or bundle cutting is recommended if the material is properly secured during the cut. When cutting round stock, use jigs or wedges to prevent the material from rolling into the cut.

Blade speed differs for each type of material to be cut. Improper blade selection and speed may result in melting or curling the material. Changing blade type/style will also help performance.

NOTE: Blade speed and performance depend on proper blade selection. Consult your blade manufacturer for the proper blade and speed required for the material to be cut.

OPERATION

ELECTRICAL OUTLET

On the rear of the bandsaw column below the tool holder, a 110V electrical outlet has been added to the machine for your working convenience. This outlet can be used with work lights (with magnetic bases or clips) to illuminate the work table and blade, for radios, charging phones or tablets, etc. FIG. 44.

CAUTION: Make sure that the cords of these devices do not interfere with any parts of the bandsaw.

WARNING This machine must be grounded. Replacement of the power supply cable should only be done by a qualified electrician. See page 5 for additional electrical information.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

BEFORE CLEANING OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE WORK, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE (WALL SOCKET). NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE MACHINE. USE A BENCH BRUSH. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR NEAR BEARINGS. REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE WILL PREVENT UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS.

1. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
2. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and prevent excessive wear.
3. Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating.
4. Keep the inside of the machine (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust. Use dust collection, if possible.
5. To prolong the life of the blade, when the bandsaw is not in use for extended periods, release the blade tension. Before reusing the bandsaw, ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and tracking is checked.
6. Keep the guide bearings free of dust, and clean the guide bearing assemblies frequently.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.

CHANGING THE MOTOR DRIVE BELT

Refer to "Frame Assembly" parts diagram on page 28, and "Motor & Drive Wheel Assembly" page 37.

1. Before changing the belt, make sure that the bandsaw is unplugged from the power source.
2. Release the saw blade tension from the drive belt by turning the quick release blade tension lever.
3. Release the drive belt tension by using the belt tension. See page 20 for Instructions.
4. Remove the lower wheel (Wheel Assembly, Part #9F) by removing the hex head bolt and washer (#7F, 6F) in the middle of the wheel's hub. Carefully slide the lower wheel off of the lower wheel shaft, and at the same time remove the saw blade from this wheel.

CAUTION Be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp saw teeth. Wear gloves for protection.

1. Remove the old drive belt from the wheel's pulley, and install the new belt. Make sure the ribs in the drive belt are seated correctly in the pulley before reassembling and tensioning the drive belt.
2. Reverse the procedure to re-assemble the saw parts. Tension the drive belt until there is 3/8" to 1/2" of deflection. See page 20 for instructions on 'Belt Tensioning'.

CHANGING BANDSAW TIRES

Use a putty knife to get underneath the tire and pull it up and away from the wheel. Work the putty knife all the way around the wheel to loosen the tire. Then, use the putty knife as leverage to flip the tire over and off of the wheel. Clean the inside of the groove, removing any dirt, debris or cement with lacquer thinner.

Soak the replacement tire in warm water to make it more flexible. Dry the tire, and while it is still warm, lay it on top of the wheel. Start by setting the tire into the wheel groove at the top of the wheel. Using a putty knife, work the new tire around the wheel, making sure not to slice the tire. If rubber cement is to be used as a binder, make sure to distribute it evenly. Having high spots between the wheel and the tire will cause a vibration and effect blade tracking.
