ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off

and disconnect machine from power source before

installing and removing accessories, before adjusting

or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure

the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-

up can cause injury.

The machine is fully assembled except for the legstand, wheels and

table top.

ASSEMBLING THE LEGSTAND (FIG. B)

The legstand components and fasteners are packed separately.

1. Assemble the legs and traverse rails using the nuts, bolts and

washers as shown. Do not completely tighten at this time.

2. Ensure that the plastic feet are all facing downwards. The

assembled frame is shown in figure A.

3. Place the machine on the legstand, ensure the machine base fits

over the legstand on all four sides.

4. Secure the machine to the legstand using the nuts, bolts and

washers supplied with the tool.

5. Firmly tighten all the bolts.

MOUNTING THE WHEELS (FIG. B1)

1. Place the first wheel bracket in front of the plate, aligning the

mounting holes.

2. Attach the bracket to the plate using the fasteners.

3. Repeat on the other wheel brackets.

4. Attach the plate to the legstand using the fasteners.

5. Adjust the clearance of the wheels to the ground to 0-0.5mm.

WARNING: The machine must be level and stable at all

times.

MOUNTING THE TABLE TOP (FIG. C)

1. Ensure the beveling table support (11) is in the horizontal position

and lever (12) is locked.

2. With the scale (39) to the front, install the table top on the beveling

table support (11) using the four bolts.

3. Refer to the insert in figure C for correct positioning of the bolts.

Correct positioning of the table top ensures optimal performance of

the blade and prevents damaging the table insert.

4. Loosen the lever (12) to tilt the table, lock it again and secure all

four bolts temporarily.

5. Bring the table back to horizontal position.

MOUNTING THE CARRYING HANDLE (FIG. A)

machine.

2. Attach the handle with screw.

MOUNTING TO THE FLOOR (FIG. A1)

Always bolt the machine to the floor using the floor anchor holes (17)

provided.

MOUNTING THE BANDSAW BLADE (FIG. D1–D7)

WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and

can be dangerous.

1. Loosen the table clamp and move table to maximum angle. Use a

spanner to unscrew hex bolt securing the door. This will deactivate

the microswitch immediately (fig. D1).

2. Open the door as far as possible (fig. D2)

3. Lower the table. Ensure the door is open completely to allow full

access to the wheels for blade change.

4. Loosen the knob (40) to swing away the scale (39) (fig. D4).

5. Select and unpack an appropriate blade.

6. Loosen the bandsaw blade tensioner (8).

7. Retract the blade guard assembly (3) (fig. D5).

8. Slide the blade through the table slot (41).

9. Position the blade between the upper and the lower guide blocks

(42, 43) (fig. D6).

10. Guide the blade over the upper and lower band wheels (22, 23).

11. Make sure the teeth of the blade point down and to the front (fig.

D7).

12. Swing the scale (39) back to its original position and lock the

knob (40) (fig. D4).

13. Do not close the blade guard or the door at this time. Adjust the

blade as described below.

14. Once the new blade has been positioned and set, the procedure

to close the door is reversed as shown above. Clamp the table in

position now.

WARNING! Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in

the described way only. Only use saw blades as specified

under Technical Data.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE TENSION (FIG. E)

The correct tension depends on the width of the blade used. Refer to

the scale (24) on the machine.

Adjust the blade tension using the blade tensioner (8) until the pointer

(23) indicates the tension corresponding to the blade width.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE POSITION (FIG. A, F)

The blade must be centered on the rim of the upper bank wheel (22).

WARNING: Do not touch the blade but rotate the upper

bank wheel (22) with your finger on one of the spokes.

While rotating the upper bank wheel with one hand, slightly rotate the

blade centring adjuster (fig A, 14) with the other.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUIDE BLOCKS AND REAR SUPPORT BEARINGS

(FIG. D6, G)

During the sawing operation, the blade is exposed to frontal and lateral

forces. The rear support bearings (25) are positioned 0.5 mm behind

the blade to control the blade front-to-back movement. The 45˚ and 90˚

guide blocks are positioned 0.1 mm from the blade to control the lateral

blade position.

1. Tilt the table to 45˚ to access the lower guide assembly.

2. Loosen the knob (24) and position the rear support bearing (25)

0.5mm away from the blade.

3. Tighten the knob (24)

4. Loosen all four hex screws (26), position the blocks 0.1 mm away

from the blade and tighten the hex screws again.

5. If required, loosen the nut (27) to move the entire guide assembly.

6. Ensure the blade runs in the centre of the table insert.

7. Tighten all four bolts which secure the table to the beveling table

support.

8. Close the blade guard (3) and the door.

9. Clamp the table into position

MOUNTING AND ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE (FIG. H)

The bandsaw table is provided with a U-shaped slot and a scale for the

rip fence.

1. Loosen the locking knob (28).

2. Slide the assembly onto the front of the table using the U-shaped

slot (29) as a guide.

3. Tighten the locking knob (28) and check that the fence is parallel to

the blade.

4. If adjustment is required, loosen the hex screws which are

accessible through the holes (29A) in the fence and adjust as

required.

5. Tighten all screws and check again.

MOUNTING THE MITRE FENCE (FIG. J)

The bandsaw table is provided with a groove which accepts the mitre

fence.

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 required

angle.
