Maintenance
Disconnect machine from the power source
before making any repair or adjustment!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
1.
Keep all surfaces clean and free of rust, slag,
chips.
2.
Do not use compressed air to clean band saw.
Compressed air may force chips into the guide
bearings and other critical areas of the saw.
3.
Use a small paint brush or parts cleaning
brush to remove metal particles.
4.
Wipe saw with a clean dry cloth and oil all
unpainted surfaces with light machine oil.
5.
Keep blade guides clean and free of metal
chips.
6.
Check guide bearings frequently to make sure
they are properly adjusted and turning freely.
Selecting the Blade
This machine uses 19 x 0.9 x 2285mm blade.
Refer to the section on selecting the blade.
Blade Selection Chart
1. A general- use high speed steel blade in
furnished with this metal cutting band saw.
2. Never use a blade so coarse that less than 3
teeth are engaged in the work piece at any time.
(Too few teeth will cause teeth to strip out.)
3. Never use a blade finer then required obtaining
a satisfactory surface finish or satisfactory
flatness. (Too many teeth engaged in the work
piece will prevent attainment of a satisfactory
sawing rate; frequently cause premature blade
wearing; frequently produce "dished" cuts or the
cuts are neither square nor parallel.)
WARNING
4. The chart is not expected to be correct for all
cases. It is intended as a general guide to good
sawing practices. Your blade supplier or
qualified engineers should be you most reliable
source for correct information on operational
details of saw blades and their use.
Note:
a. When cutting a thin walled pipe, angle steel,
and I-beam steel use a blade with 5/8 T/in.
b. Cutting pipe with 1/2" or more wall thickness
uses a blade with 5/8T/in or 4/6T/in.
c. When cutting angle steel, H-beam, or solid bar
material, cut the thinnest cross section of the
material first. There must be at least 3 teeth
cutting the material at all times.
Blade Speeds
When user operates band saw always change
the blade speed to best suit the material being
cut.
Adjust the blade speed while the machine is
running. Controls the variable speeds between 35-
85MPM, turn the speed control knob to get desired
speed for cutting the work piece, below is blade
speed chart for cutting reference.
