DESCRIPTION
Carriage (FIG 2)
The carriage consists of the following parts:
•Steel structure with runner wheels against the rails and guides for the saw’s up and down movement.
•Two screws for the saw’s vertical adjustment. The screws are connected to a chain and are operated by a crank, equipped with an index plate.
•Handle with operating mechanism
•Saw unit with the following parts:
•Engine.
•Adjustable band wheels.
•Bandsaw blade.
•Adjustable support for optimal bandsaw blade guiding.
•Fuel tank (petrol engine) for petrol. See the Fuel Handling section.
•Cleaning fluid tank for the bandsaw blade.
•Muffler (petrol engine).
Frame (FIG. 3) and (FIG. 4)
The carriage frame consists of welded square tubing with requisite corner reinforcement for stability during cutting.
The frame is equipped with two round runners for the saw unit's up and down movement. The guides transfer the saw carriage’s lateral forces to the frame.
On the underside of the frame are four runners, fitted with bearings, with slots for securing and smooth running along the rails.
The carriage is equipped with two adjustable bearings, which run against the underside of the rails, to prevent it from lifting.
Height Setting (FIG. 4)
The saw unit is secured vertically by two interact- ing screws. The screws are connected to a chain for precise and simultaneous movement.
A crank (29) is fitted on the top section of one of the screws, and is used to set the exact dimen- sion of the timber thickness. One turn of the crank moves the bandsaw blade 5 mm. The height of the bandsaw blade above the rails’ cross members is read on the scale (1).
There are two red markings on the scale that indicate the lowest saw height with the timber support raised, one red line for the long timber support and one red line for the short one.
CAUTION! Sawing under the respective mark- ings will damage the bandsaw.
