2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Manufactured to comply with Safety of Machinery (Safety)
Regulations 1992 (and amendments) and fully CE approved. Saw
arms are fitted with hydraulic damping to prevent the arm being
dropped onto the workpiece and to ensure smooth cutting
performance. Bow rotates up to 60° angle allowing workpiece to
always sit in a central position. Coolant fluid system and main power
controls are switched on individual 24V/230V circuits for extra safety.
Features auto and manual shut-off switches giving the user options
of control when in use. Heavy-duty single phase electric motor.

3. HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
3.1
TRANSIT AND LIFTING
3.1.1 A fork lift truck will be required to unload the palletised bandsaw
and transport it to the installation area.
3.1.2 A suitably rated crane used together with chains and shackles
should be used to lift the machine onto the sheet metal stand
and also to lift the whole assembly into its intended position.
See lifting points B & C in Fig.2 above. Alternatively, slings can
be used under the vice either side of the central pivot. Great
care should be taken to keep the load level and to ensure that
the slings do not apply pressure to components that should not
be heavily stressed.
3.2
INSTALLATION AREA
3.2.1 Ensure that there is adequate free space around the machine
bearing in mind that it may be necessary to cut from long
lengths of steel stock that need to be fed over the roller
attached to the back of the machine and that the stock will
need to be supported along its length beyond the machine.
3.2.2 The surface on which the machine is to be mounted should
be flat and level and capable of supporting the weight of the
machine.
3.2.3 Ensure that the work area is adequately illuminated.
3.2.4 The machine should be located near a power supply point that
is equipped with an overload cut out and suitable earthing.
3.2.5 The installation area should be free from excessive humidity
and atmospheric agents that could ignite.
3.3
ASSEMBLY
3.3.1 Remove the outer packaging and dispose of it responsibly in
accordance with local authority regulations.
3.3.2 Sheetmetal base
3.3.3 Identify the front panel which has a small access plate bolted
to it near the top edge. This front panel has a returned flange
along either vertical edge. Bolt an end panel to each vertical
flange using the Ø8mm bolts, nuts and washers supplied as
shown below. Complete the structure by bolting the back panel
into place as shown below in Fig.3.
3.3.4 Using a suitable crane, lower the machine bed onto the top
of the assembled stand. The stand assembly has two large
