judgement to safely use your machine.

• DISCONNECT the power source when changing drill bits, hollow chisels, router bits,

shaper heads, blades, knives or making other adjustments or repairs.

BAND SAW -CT015N- SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A band saw may not appear to be a dangerous tool but it is always important to use

consideration and caution during its operation: remember, a band saw can sever a

finger just as easily and quickly as a table saw.

Please take the necessary precautions to ensure the safe operation of your band saw.

• ALWAYS ensure that the blade tension is properly set for the type and width of blade

installed.

• ALWAYS ensure that the guide blocks are properly set to prevent blade wander.

• ALWAYS make certain that the bearings are properly adjusted to guide the blade.

• ALWAYS ensure that the band saw teeth are pointing in a downward direction.

• ALWAYS ensure that the band saw blade guard is no more than 1/2” above your

stock.

• ALWAYS turn OFF the machine if you are backing out a cut.

• Make relief cuts before cutting short curves.

• NEVER turn ON the band saw if the blade is in contact with your stock.

• DO NOT attempt to remove jammed pieces unless the band saw has come to a

complete stop and the power switch has been turned to the OFF position.

UNPACKING YOUR CT015N BAND SAW

Your Craftex band saw is shipped in one large carton. Before unpacking the parts, be

sure to have a clean, well-lit and uncluttered area to take inventory of the carton’s

contents. Each step in this manual comes with its own parts list and any other tools

necessary to complete the assembly step; you may find it helpful to refer to these lists

when unpacking the contents and group together the parts for each step as you go

(there is also a full parts list at the end of this manual).

Care should be taken when unpacking these machine parts. Safety glasses and work

gloves are recommended, as there may be sharp edges and staples that could cause

personal injury.

Carefully remove all packing materials and recycle these where facilities exist.

Open all packages, remove the contents, and set the packaging aside; be sure that all

packages are empty before discarding them.

After removing the packages of hardware, tilt the shipping carton on its end and slide

out the saw table.

BE CAREFUL: the saw blade is already installed and exposed. Gently loosen the saw

table out of the box by gripping the drive wheel shaft, and then wiggle it the rest of the

way out of the box. Once it is out of the shipping carton, lower the guard to cover the

saw blade.

Your CT015N Band Saw is shipped with a protective coating on the top surface of the

cast-iron saw table to prevent rust and corrosion. This coating should be removed prior

to assembly. Use a cloth and mineral spirits or varsol to wipe the surface clean and then

dry it with a separate cloth. After it is dry, apply a coat of heavy-duty paste wax and then

buff dry (this will help protect the surface from future corrosion).
