FIG. 16

Machine operation

Correct working position: In front of the machine standing in the direction of cutting.

Workpiece handling: Hands placed flat on the workpiece outside the cutting area. Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the direction of the saw line, and cut as required by turning to follow the line drawn. Push the workpiece steadily forward; complete the cut as a single movement. Do not draw the workpiece back, asthis could cause the sawblade to run off its wheels.

Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller stands.

Operating hints: Work only with a sharp and flawless sawblade.
Near the cutting area use a push stick to feed. Use a feeding template to safely guide small and narrow workpieces. Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning under the pressure of the cut.

Workpiece setup:
Bring the upper blade guide to a distance of approx 2-5mm to the workpiece. (See Fig 17).
FIG. 17

For your own safety, always set the saw guide as close to the workpiece as possible.

To adjust the cutting height release the winged nut (A, Fig 18) and move the upper blade guide and guard assembly (B).
Fig 18

Blade Drift Compensation:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the blade begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig. 19).
Fig. 19

Blade drift can be caused by a number of factors.

  • The saw blade follows the grain
  • The saw blade is dull.
  • Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
  • Blade tension unsufficient.
  • Blade-teeth have asymmetric “set”.

Auxiliary fence for rip fence: For your own safety always set the upper saw guide as close to the workpiece as possible.

For narrow shallow cuts on the rip fence a self-made auxiliary fence (E, Fig. 20) made of cutable material ( e.g. wood, plastic, aluminium) must be used. Length same as rip fence.

Mitre gauge: Place the mitre gauge in the table T-slot.
Directions for “safe operation”:

Setup and adjustments

General note:

Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after the machine is protected against accidental starting by pulling the mains plug.

Changing the sawblade

The sawblade has to meet the technical specification. Choose a suitable saw blade, according to the cutting operation and according to the material to be cut.

For high rip cuts:

  • use a wide sawblade (e.g. 13mm), coarse teethed.

For narrow curved cuts:

  •  use a narrow sawblade (e.g. 6mm).

Check sawblade for flaws (cracks, broken teeth, bending) before installation. Do not use faulty sawblades. The sawblade teeth must point in cutting direction (down). Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawblades. The sawblades may only be changed when the mains plug is pulled!

Replacing the bandsaw blade

Note: The Band Saw comes equipped with a factory-installed 1712×9.5×0.35(67.5″ x 0.375″ x 0.014″), 6TPI blade . Disconnect machine from power source. Open upper and lower doors (Figure 22) by rotating the knobs. Loosen lock knob (G, Figure 21) and pull extension (H, Figure 22) away from table.
Figure 21

Figure 22

Remove guide rail (E, Figure 9). Release tension on blade by moving tension handle (Q, Figure 23) to the right.

Refer to Figure 22: Remove blade from upper and lower wheels (K,L) and from between upper and lower blade guides (M,N).

Remove blade through slot (O) in table.

Guide the new blade through table slot (O) leading with the smooth edge.
Place it around the upper and lower wheels and into the upper and lower blade guides (M,N).

Note: The blade teeth should face the operator, and they should point down toward the table.

Position the blade to track in the middle of the rubber tires on the wheels (K,L).

Engage tension on the blade by moving quick tension handle (Q, Figure 23) to the left.

Replace guide rail (E, Figure 9).

Before operating the saw, check that the blade is tracking and has proper tension.

Blade tension adjustment

Refer to Figure 23:
FIG. 23

The blade tension knob (P) is used to adjust blade tension. The quick tension lever (Q) must be engaged (moved to the left) before making tension adjustments with knob (P). All bearings on upper and lower guides must be clear of blade. Disconnect machine from power source.
Apply just enough tension to take slack out of blade. Turn one wheel a few times to allow blade to position itself in center of tire.

Note: If blade does not center, Adjusting blade tracking.

A gauge (R) directly behind upper wheel indicates approximate tension according to width of blade. Set blade tension with knob (P) to correspond to blade width as marked on gauge (R):

Note: A tension meter is recommended to precisely set tension for the size of blade used.

As you become more experienced with the saw, you may find it necessary to change the blade tension from the initial setting. Changes in blade width and the type of material being cut will have an effect on blade tension.

Keep in mind that too little or too much blade tension can cause blade breakage.

Blade tension adjustment

Refer to Figure 23:

Tracking refers to how the blade is situated upon the wheels while in motion. The blade should track in the center of both wheels. The blade must be slightly tensioned before adjusting blade tracking. Make sure blade guides and bearings(M,N, Figure 22) do not interfere with blade.
If blade tracking is required, blade guide adjustment is described in sect to” Guide bearing adjustment”. Open upper and lower doors. Rotate upper wheel forward by hand, and observe position of blade on wheel through the window (S, Figure 23). Blade should be in the center of the wheel. If adjustment is necessary:

Loosen handle (T) and make adjustment with tracking knob (U) while rotating wheel by hand. Tightening the tracking knob slightly will move the blade so it trackstowardsthe rear of machine. Loosening the tracking knob slightly will cause the blade to track toward the front of the machine. After blade is tracking in the center of the wheel, tighten handle (T).

Upper blade guide positioning

Refer to Figure 24:
FIG. 24

The upper blade guide assembly (W) should be adjusted to just above the material being cut. To adjust:

Loosen lock knob (V) and raise or lower upper blade guide assembly (W) by turning height adjustment knob (X).
