Using your Elite vertical bandsaw is easy. First, plug it into a 230V power source as it's prewired for this voltage. Adjust the blade speed according to the material you're cutting. You can set it anywhere between 50 - 5000 SFPM. Place your material on the 24 x 22 - inch table and start the 2 HP motor. When using the bandsaw, always wear proper safety gear because of the Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. Keep the blade in good condition by using the 4.2 KVA Bi - Metal Blade stations. Regularly check the blade tension and alignment for accurate cuts. Clean the saw after each use to remove debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Also, make sure the articulating table is properly adjusted for the best results. If you have any issues, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
