Upper blade guide adjustment
The height of the upper blade guide needs to be adjusted:
prior to every cutting/operation, to accommodate the height of the work piece (the upper blade guide should be set approx. 3 mm above the work piece);
-after adjustments of band saw blade or saw table (e.g. band saw blade change, tensioning of the band saw blade, saw table alignment).
CAUTION:
Before adjusting the upper blade guide and saw table tilt:
-switch machine OFF;
-wait until the band saw blade has come to a complete stop.
•Set upper blade guide with the adjusting knob to the desired height by loosening the lock knob.
After adjustment be sure to tighten the lock nut.
•Never cut several work pieces at the same time — and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled.
