9.0 Operating Controls
9.1 Start/Stop
Refer to Figure 36.
Power Indicator Light – The start switch (A) has
a power indicator lamp which is on whenever
there is power connected to the band saw, not
just when the band saw is running. Do not
assume that no light means there is no power
to the machine. If the bulb is bad, there will be
no indication. Always check before use.
Do not rely that no light means
no power to the machine. Always check for power
first. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Start – Press green start switch (A).
When power is connected to machine, the green
light is always on regardless of whether band saw
is running or not.
Stop – Press red switch (B) to stop.
Reset – If band saw stops without pressing the
stop button (as result of tripped fuse or circuit
breaker, etc.) proceed as follows:
1. Press red switch to reset.
2. Press green switch to restart machine.
