EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
EXTENSION CORD LENGTH
Wire Size A.W.G.
Up to 25 ft.................................. 14
25 to 50 ft.................................. 12
NOTE: Using extension cords over 50 ft. long is not
recommended.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: All electrical connections must be performed
by a qualified electrician. Make sure unit is off and dis-
connected from power source while motor is mounted,
connected, reconnected or anytime wiring is inspected.
Craftsman 18" Vertical Metal Cutting Band Saw
provides precision metal cutting for tool and die makers,
machine shops and production work. Blade speed is
infinitely variable and ranges from 80 FPM to 385 FPM
for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Selection
guide helps determine blade type and speed for most
metals. Features include industrial rated heavy duty
speed reducer, heavy gauge steel construction, cast iron
wheels, pulleys, table and LED blade speed indicator.
Saw is controlled by push button magnetic switch with
safety off button and key lock switch. Saw comes with a
115/230 volt motor prewired for 115 volts. Saw features
tilting work table for angle cuts, built-in chip chute, eye
bolt for moving, chip blower, flange mounting brackets
for securing saw to the floor, blade welder and work
lamp. Blade widths of '/8-5/8'' and thickness of 0.020
to 0.035" can be welded for convenient production of
band saw blades. Welder features a blade shear,
grinder and an anneal button.
