PREPARATION • Make sure that all parts are un-damaged and are present. If any parts are missing or damaged please contact your CLARKE dealer immediately. • For maximum stability, the bandsaw should be bolted to either a workbench, a suitable stand, or a piece of plywood, and the plywood then clamped firmly to a workbench using clamps, while the bandsaw is being used.
ADJUSTING THE COMPONENTS SETTING THE TABLE 1. Loosen the locking lever to set the table to the desired angle. 2. Use the angle scale and pointer on the table tilting bracket to find the desired angle. 3. Re-tighten the locking lever to secure the table.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE TENSION CAUTION: TOO MUCH TENSION CAN CAUSE THE SAW BLADE TO BREAK. TOO LITTLE TENSION CAN CAUSE THE BLADE TO MAKE IRREGULAR CUTS 1. Slacken the locking knob and raise the upper blade guide fully. 2. Check the tension by pressing with a finger against the side of the blade, halfway between the table and upper guide.
• Slacken off the single screw using a hex key and position the bearing carrier so that the bearing is positioned 1-2mm behind the saw blade. • The blade will touch the bearing when the saw is in use. LOWER BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENTS The lower blade guide should also be adjusted after any blade change or tracking adjustment.
PREPARING FOR WORK STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW 1. Press the green button to start the bandsaw. 2. To stop the saw at any time, press the red stop button. USING THE RIP FENCE The fence can be used on either side of the saw blade.
CONNECTING TO A DUST COLLECTOR This bandsaw is fitted with a dust port for connection to a vacuum cleaner or dust collector such as the Clarke CDE35 if available. PRACTICAL OPERATION Before commencing work, ensure the work area is clean and tidy and the work table is clear of tools etc.
RIP CUTTING This term refers to cutting timber in the same direction as the grain, rather than across it. You can rip wood freehand to a drawn pencil line, but best results are obtained by using the rip fence. If the table is set level, set the rip-fence to the left hand side of the blade, allowing you to use your right hand to hold the work firmly against the fence.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE TASKS. CLEANING Accumulated dust and chips should be removed from inside the bandsaw frequently. Open the upper and lower covers, use a soft brush and/or vacuum cleaner to remove sawdust.
