Electrical Connection; Electrical System; Adjusting Blade Tension - General International BS5202 Setup And Operation Manual

WARNING! This machine should be positioned in the work area
ensuring a horizontal clearance of at least 31.5 inches (800 mm) from all
sides of the machine.
Secure the machine to the workbench with M8 screws using the holes
provided on the base.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Ensure that safety standards for electrical connections detailed in the
section Electrical Warnings and Cautions, above, are followed.
WARNING! Check that the power supply system is equipped with a
thermomagnetic circuit breaker to protect all conductors from short circuit
and overloads.
CHECKS AFTER CONNECTION
WARNING! Before connecting it to mains power, check that the supply
voltage matches the voltage indicated on the machine itself.
Once connected, to avoid any possible residual risks of tripping and falling,
make sure that the power supply cable lies flat on the floor and is not at
any point raised in the air.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

NOTE: The bandsaw's electrical system is fitted with an under-voltage
relay.
● This automatically opens the circuit if the voltage drops below a
minimum set limit and inhibits automatic reset of operating conditions
when the voltage returns to set rated levels.
● Should the machine suddenly cut out there is no cause for alarm.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! Perform all the procedures for machine adjustments and
use described in the following headings only after this instruction, use
and maintenance manual has been read and understood in full.
CAUTION:
„ At the end of every adjustment operation, check that all fasteners are
secure.
„ At the end of every adjustment operation make sure no tools have
been left on the machine.

ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION

Turn the blade tensioning handwheel (B, fig 2 & 3) clockwise up to the
travel stop.
CAUTION: If the band tension is too high the blade may jump out of the
guides.
ADJUSTING CUTTING ANGLE
HEAD ROTATION
The machine comes with basic calibration set at 0° and 45°, by mechanical
stoppers: the 0º miter limiter and 45º miter limiter (P & Q, fig 2 & 3).
WARNING! To check or modify calibrations, please contact an
authorized after sales service center.
To adjust the cutting angles proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the swivel support lock knob (N, fig 2 & 3).
b. Turn the swivel support (H, fig 2 & 3) using the control
handgrip (A, fig 2 & 3).
c. Stop rotation when the miter angle indicator (R, fig 2 & 3) is aligned
with the selected position on the graduated miter angle scale on the
base (S, fig 2 & 3).
