- Page 11 ASSEMBLY PREPARATION For maximum stability the bandsaw should be bolted firmly to either a workbench, a suitable stand, or a piece of plywood, 5/8” thick, and the plywood should be clamped firmly to a workbench, using clamps, whenever the bandsaw is being used. The saw must be located in an area large enough to allow you to work freely, taking into account the likely size of your workpiece, and that there should be adequate lighting.
- Page 12 8. Fit the rip fence to the table if required. 9. Slide the mitre gauge into the slot in the table if required. ADJUSTING THE COMPONENTS TILTING THE TABLE 1. Loosen the locking handle and turn the table tilting knob to adjust the table to the desired angle.
- Page 13 TRACKING THE SAW BLADE 1. Open the upper and lower covers by releasing the twist knobs. 2. Manually rotate the upper wheel, taking care of the sharp blade. If the saw blade does not run on the centre of the rubber tyre the tracking needs to be corrected before use by adjusting the tilt angle of the upper bandsaw wheel.
- Page 14 BLADE GUIDES / BEARING SETTING The upper and lower blade guides need to be re-adjusted after any blade change or tracking adjustment. This task may be easier if the table is tilted for better access. 1. Loosen the set-screws (A) and position the guide pins 0.5 mm from the blade.
- Page 15 UPPER BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT The height of the upper blade guide needs to be adjusted prior to every cutting operation to accommodate the height of the workpiece. The upper blade guide should be set approx 3 mm above the workpiece. Set the upper blade guide by turning the adjusting knob to the desired height and securing in position with...
- Page 16 USING THE MITRE GAUGE The mitre gauge is inserted into the table slot from either edge. 1. To set a mitre angle, loosen the lock knob by turning it counter- clockwise. • The mitre gauge can be turned to max 60 in both directions.
- Page 17 USING THE PUSH STICK The push-stick serves as an extension of the operators hand as protection against accidentally touching the saw blade. The push-stick should be used if the rip fence is close to the blade. When not in use, the push-stick can be stored on the hook provided on the bandsaw frame.
- Page 18 TYPES OF CUT Several types of cut are possible with this saw i.e. rip cutting, cross cutting, bevel or mitre cutting. 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.
- Page 19 When freehand cutting, always feed the work slowly so that the blade can follow the line you wish to cut. Make sure not to drag the work off line, forcing the blade sideways, or twisting it. In many cases, it is helpful to rough cut about 6mm away from the line. For difficult curves which may be too tight for the blade, make relief cuts at 90°...
