Mounting
1.It is best to attach the band saw to a firm, stable surface at a convenient working height. A workbench is ideal.
2.Drill four holes in the workbench to match the four holes in the base of the saw.
3.Attach the band saw to the work bench using 8mm bolts (inserted from the top), lock washers and nuts.
Assembly
The band saw is shipped partly disassembled and the work table (11) and rip fence (13) have to be installed prior to use.
1.Place the work table on the table trunnion (10) by threading the saw blade through the slot in the table.
2.Align the work table so that the blade runs through the centre of the table insert’s slot (12).
3.Fasten the work table to the table trunnion using the three screws, three plain washers and three nuts.
Caution: Make sure the screws are tightened securely to ensure they do not loosen in use.
4.Attach the U shape under the work table using the two screws and two thumb nuts.
5.Attach the rip fence to the table and secure it by pushing down the rip fence locking handle (14).
It may be necessary to rotate the lever anti- clockwise to be able to slide the rip fence over the table and then clockwise before locking the lever
over, so that the rip fence is fully tightened in place.
Upper blade guide adjustment
WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments.
1.The upper blade guide (15) protects against unintentional contact with the saw blade.
2.In order for the upper blade guide to provide adequate protection against contact with the band saw blade, it must always be set as close as possible against the
workpiece (maximum distance 3mm).
