SETUP

Before setting up your machine you need to

read and understand the instructions given

in this manual.

The unpainted surfaces of this band saw

are coated with rust prevention waxy oil and

you will want to remove this before you

begin assembly. Use a solvent cleaner that

will not damage painted surfaces.

UNPACKING

The machine is properly packaged and is

shipped completely in two cartons for safe

transportation. When unpacking, carefully

inspect the cartons and ensure that nothing

has been damaged during transit.

WARNING!

CX116 is a very heavy machine, do not

over-exert yourself. For safe moving

method use fork truck or get the help of

an assistant or friend.

PROPER GROUNDING

Grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the

risk of electric shock.

Make sure the cord is plugged into a

properly installed and grounded power

outlet. To prevent electrical hazards, have a

qualified electrician ensure that the line is

properly wired.

Make sure that the band saw is connected

to an outlet having the same configuration

as the plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it

must be attached to the metal screw of the

receptacle.

Figure-1 120-Volts outlet for CX116

It is strongly recommended not to use

extension cords with your CX116. Always

try to position your machine close to the

power source so that you do not need to

use extension cords.

If you really find it necessary to use an

extension cord, make sure the extension

cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and

the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor

damage.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to

whether the outlet is properly grounded.
