Mounting the Mitre Fence (Fig. J)
The bandsaw table is provided with a groove which accepts the mitrefence.
The mitre fence
6
is equipped with an adjustable stop
30
. The mitre fence can be locked at
any position from 0 to 60˚ left and right and is locked with the locking knob
31
.
Simply slide the mitre fence onto the table and lock it at the requiredangle.
Setting the Bevel Angle (Fig. K)
1. Loosen the locking lever
12
.
2. Tilt the table to the required angle and lock thelever.
3. To set the angle to 90˚, place a square against the blade and adjust the stop
32
until it
touches the underside of thetable.
Adjusting the Blade Guard (Fig. L)
1. The blade guard
3
must always be positioned approximately 10mm above the surface of
theworkpiece.
2. Turn the knob
15
in order to adjust the height of theguard.
Changing Speed (Fig. M1–M2)
The bandsaw has two speeds. The low speed is obtained with the drive belt
33
on the
small drive pulley
34
. The high speed is obtained with the drive belt
33
on the large drive
pulley
35
(Fig. M1). For speed rates, refer to the technicaldata.
1. Loosen the motor positioning bolt
13
and move the motor in the slot
36
to relax the
drive belt (Fig. M2)
2. Ease the drive belt from the wheel pulley
37
and subsequently from the drive pulley
34
or
35
.
3. Reinstall the drive belt on the wheel pulley
37
and the required drive pulley
34
or
35
.
4. Reposition the motor in the slot
36
to obtain the correct drive belt tension and secure the
motor positioning bolt
13
.
Prior to Use
• Carefully check the adjustable upper and lower blade blocks, movable door and the dust
extraction tube to ensure they operateproperly.
• Ensure chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to blockage of one of the functions.
If workpiece fragments are jammed between bandsaw blade and lower blade block,
disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow the instructions given in
section Mounting the Bandsaw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and reassemble the
sawblade.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicableregulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
• Do not force the cutting action. Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
• Select an appropriate sawblade.
• Never run the machine without the guards inplace.
• Do not over tension theblade.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without anyrestrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not too cold,
machine and accessory is well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine
The attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking machines regulations 1974” and any
subsequentamendments.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A)
The on/off switch
1
works only when the door islocked.
• I = ON The tool now works in continuousoperation.
• 0 = OFF
Basic Saw Cuts
Always position the blade guard approximately 10 mm above the surface of theworkpiece.
Ripping
WARNING: Always switch OFF the tool when work is finished and beforeunplugging.
1. Install the rip fence as described in Mounting and Adjusting the RipFence.
2. Set the rip fence for the width of cut required by using thescale.
3. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, keeping it firmly pressed onto the table and
against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut and do not force the workpiece through the
blade. The blade speed should be keptconstant.
4. Use a push stick when close to theblade.
Mitre Cuts (Fig. N)
1. Set the required angle on the mitre fence
6
and secure with the locking knob
31
.
2. Use the cut length bar
30
if required. Lock the cut length bar in the required position
using the screw
38
.
3. Proceed as forripping.
Bevel Cuts
1. Set the table to the requiredangle.
2. Install the fence to the right of theblade.
3. Proceed as forripping.
Compound Mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevelcut.
Set the table to the required angle and proceed as forripping.
Freehand Cuts
Freehand cuts are performed without the help of afence.
Do not attempt to cut curves smaller than the blade willallow.
