6. Advice on using your bandsaw

6.1 Recommendations and advice for using the
machine
The machine has been designed to cut metal building
materials, with different shapes and profiles, used in
workshops, turner's shops and general mechanical
structural work.
Only one operator is needed to use the machine, that
must stand as shown in the picture.
- Before starting each cutting operation ensure that the
part is firmly clamped in the vise and that the end is
suitably supported.
- These figures below show examples of suitable
clamping of different section bars, bearing in mind the
cutting capacities of the machine in order to achieve a
good efficiency and blade durability
- Do not use blades of a different size from those stated in
the machine specifications.
- If the blade gets stuck in the cut, release the running button
immediately, switch off the machine, open the vise slowly,
remove the part and check that the blade or its teeth are not
broken. If they are broken, change the tool.
- Before carrying out any repairs on the machine, consult the
dealer.

If the tension is set properly, but the micro switch (B) does
not contact or trigger properly, make this adjustment.
