WARNING. Over tightening the band saw will cause premature failure. Under tightening can cause the band to disengage whilst it is in use.
Adjusting the blade support heads
1.Use the Allen key to loosen the screw either side of the upper blade guide assembly.
2.Slide the assembly left or right so that the blade is in the centre of the two bearings.
3.Slide the assembly back or forward so that the rear
bearing is just clear of the back of the blade.
4.Retighten the two adjustment screws.
5.The bearings should run freely and turn when the saw is in use.
6.Use the Allen key to loosen the adjustment screw on the side of the lower support head. This screw is accessed through a hole in the frame.
7.Set the rear bearing just clear of the back of the blade.
8.The bearings should run freely and turn when the saw is in use.
NOTE. Do not set the bearing too close, as the resulting friction will generate heat, which can have an adverse affect on the bearings and the blade. The bearing should run freely and turn when the machine is in use.
Setting the cutting height
1.Always set the upper blade guide assembly as close as practical to the work.
2.To adjust the height, loosen the lock knob on the lamp side of the upper wheel housing, set the guide as required and then
Saw table tilt
1.To tilt the table, loosen the table lock handle on the underside of the table, tilt the table to the required angle and retighten the handle.
NOTE. It is best to verify the angle of tilt by making a practice
cut in a piece of scrap wood, measuring and resetting the angle if necessary.
Operation
Switching on and off
1.Connect the plug to the power supply.
2.Push the ON button.
3.To switch off, push the OFF button.
NOTE.
1.Extension leads must have a minimum lead cross section of 3 x 0.75 mm2 (240V).
2.The saw is automatically turned off in the event of a power failure. You will need to press the ON button again to restart the saw. (Only on some models)
