INSTALL V-BELT
4.4.1.
Band saw uses a step-pulley drive system to provide a selection of blade speeds.
4.4.2.
Place V-belt on drive and motor pulleys with V-belt in desired location on pulleys. See Blade Speed Chart. (fig.5)
fig.5
DO NOT over tighten V-belt. Excessive tension

on V-belt will reduce life of belt. Belt is properly
tensioned when light pressure applied between
pulleys produces about 1/2" deflection.
4.4.3.
Tension V-belt by pushing motor mount plate and
tightening socket head bolt (fig.7).
4.4.4.
Close pulley cover and secure with knob.
4.5.
WIRE MOTOR FIG 6
4.5.1.
Remove pan head screw and cover from motor junction box.
4.5.2.
Pass motor cable through cable gland and secure cable with screw on
strain relief.
4.5.3.
Wire motor cable to motor with screws provided. Be sure to earth
motor with green earthing wire in motor cable.
4.5.4.
Replace junction box cover and secure with pan head screw.
4.6.
ATTACH WORK STOP ASSEMBLY (FIG.8)
4.6.1.
Thread work stop rod into bed.
4.6.2.
Slide work stop assembly onto work stop rod and secure with knob.
4.6.3.
Adjust the support arm so as to be level with the vice for supporting flat
sections.
4.6.4.
To support tube sections, move the arm radially and use the thimble to
support the inside of the tube.
5. INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Before band saw is installed, a suitable location should be chosen. Band saw weighs approximately 279 Kg.
5.6.1.
Band saw needs to be set on a flat level surface.
5.6.2.
Make sure there is ample room for the workpiece.
5.6.3.
Good lighting and correct power supply are also required for a proper
work area.
5.1.
POWER SOURCE
5.1.1.
Use only 3-wire extension cables having 3-prong grounding type plugs
and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
5.1.2.
If the extension cable is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, replace it
immediately.
6. OPERATION
6.1.
PRE USE CHECKS
6.1.1.
The 9 x 16", 4-speed horizontal band saw blade speeds range from
82 to 235 FPM. Vice jaws can turn 0-45° for making angle cuts.
Movable jaw has rapid approach and withdraw capability.
WARNING! Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the band saw
‰
turn switch to off and remove plug from power source.
6.1.2.
Make sure the stops are positioned and that the automatic shut-off is operating.
6.1.3.
Check that the gear box has the proper amount of lubricant.
6.1.4.
Make sure the blade guides are positioned correctly.
6.1.5.
Use the appropriate blade for the workpiece that is being cut.
6.1.6.
Use a sharp blade. Replace dull blades or blades which are missing teeth.
6.1.7.
Make sure the blade is tensioned properly and going in the right direction.
6.1.8.
Use the proper blade speed for the work.
6.1.9.
For optimum performance, DO NOT stall the motor or reduce the speed. Use the proper feed pressure.
6.1.10.
Make sure enough coolant is available to keep coolant pump submersed.
6.1.11.
Secure the workpiece in a stable position.
6.1.12.
Check that all guards are attached. After turning the switch on, let the blade come to full speed. Then lower the blade onto the
workpiece slowly.
6.1.13.
Keep hands away from the blade and all moving parts.
