UNPACKING The metal bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed crate. If you find the machine to be All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing” damaged, save the containers and all packing materials, ) on them after they are formed. This is generally removed call your agent.
ASSEMBLY Check the condition and suitability of the equipment This metal cutting bandsaw is completely assembled, just available. needs to assemble the machine stand. Do not touch the suspended loads and remain at a Assembling the machine stand safe distance from them. Join the left part, right part to bottom plate with 6-hex head screws M8x16 w/6- 8mm washers.
OPERATION 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 on the front of machine as shown in the picture.
Fig 9 Fig 7 Adjust cutting angle Using the right side, angles can be cut up to 60 degrees. This requires that vise jaw to be set on the left side(6, fig6). Use the procedures for Vise Adjustment, to place it in left side position. Using the left side, angles can be cut up to 45 degrees.

Fully open the hydraulic flow control valve(A) by turning the valve counter-clockwise all the way to the end. Press trigger switch(J) to start operation. If cutting pipe with thin walls, reduce the saw arm descent rate by adjusting the flow control valve(A). Press the emergency push button(K fig11,or SB1 fig8) down to shut off all functions.
ADJUSTING Blade tension adjusting The ideal tension of the blade is achieved rotating the hand wheel until it touches the micro switch, that actuates the operation of the machine is actuated. The position of this switch is factory set during inspection, after having tightened the blade on the lengthening values indicated by its manufacturer as per specific dimensions set with...
Checking the adjustment of the blade Use a strip of scrap paper and slide it between the blade and the flywheel while it is running. if the paper is cut then the blade is riding too close to the flange. Re-adjust. if you notice that the blade is riding away from the flange.Then re-adjust.
The gear box MAINTENANCE The maintenance jobs are listed below, divided into The gear box requires periodic changing of oil. The oil Daily, Weekly, Monthly and 6-monthly intervals. If the must be changed by the first 6 months of a new following operations are englected, the result will be machine and every year thereafter.
BLADE CHOICE 4. In the applicable row, read across to the right and find the box where the row and column intersect. Listed in Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety the box is the minimum TPI recommended for the of factors, such as the type of material being cut, variable tooth pitch blades.

Blade Structure COMBO TOOTH Pitch varies between teeth and consequently varying teeth size and varying gullet depths. Pitch varies between teeth, Bi-metal blade are the most commonly used. They consist of which ensures a smoother, quieter cut and longer blade life silicon-steel blade backing by a laser welded high speed steel owing to the lack of vibration.
