Operation

WARNING: Before starting check if any part of your bandsaw is missing, malfuctioning, has been damaged or broken.., such as the motor switch, or other operation control, a safety device or the power cord, turn the bandsaw off and unplug it until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
The saw blade cuts on a continuous downstroke, To avoid injury when hands are unavoidably near to the saw blade, they should be placed on either side of the blade, not in line with it. Use a push stick whenever possible when working in close proximity to the saw blade.
Start the bandsaw by turning the lock switch on and wait for the bandsaw to come to full speed before starting to cut. Never start the bandsaw with the workpiece in contact with the saw blade. Slowly feed the workpiece towards the saw blade, putting only light pressure on it. With both hands, firmly hold the workpiece down on the table, and feed it towards the saw blade slowly.
For best results the saw blade must be sharp. Select the right saw blade for the job, depending on_tthe thickness of the wc.od the cut to be made. The thinner and harder the wood, the finer the teeth of the saw blade. Use a fine tooth blade for cutting sharp curves.
The machine is especially suited for cutting curves, but will also make straight cuts. Do not attempt to turn the workpiece without pushing it, as this may cause the workpieee to get stuck, or the saw blade to bend.
The rip fence is to enable safe and accurate straight cuts of the workpiece, usually in the same direction as the grain of the timber. The miter gauge is to enable safe and accurate crosscut of the workpiece.
The tiltable table is used for bevel cuts.
WARNING: When sawing with the rip fence and a tilted table, the rip fence must be installed on that side of the table which is tilted downward.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To avoid injury due to unexpected starting, before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, switch off and disconnect the bandsaw from the power source.
Never use water or other liquids to clean the bandsaw. Use a dry brush.
Regular maintenance of the bandsaw will prevent unnecessary problems.
a. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
b. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and prevent excessive wear.
c. Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating.
d. Keep the inside (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust. Use dust collection if possible.
e. To prolong the life of the saw blade, when the bandsaw is not in use for extended periods, release the saw blade tension. Before reusing the bandsaw ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and tracking is checked.
