Cutting speed adjustment

1.Open the lower cover.

2.Slacken driving belt by turning the knob clockwise.

3.Put driving belt on the required pulley of the driving wheel (lower band saw wheel) and the corresponding motor pulley-note label inside the lower cover.

CAUTION:

The driving belt must run either on both front or both rear pulleys. Never have the V- belt run diagonally.

Setting knob for belt tension

With the setting knob the belt tension is corrected if necessary:

-turning the setting knob clockwise reduces the driving belt tension.

-turning the setting knob counter-clockwise increases the driving belt tension.

Tighten the driving belt again by turning the knob counter-clockwise (half-way between the pulleys the driving belt should flex approx. 10 mm).

Close the lower cover.
