tension device before cutting. The tension for various
blade widths as indicated on the window of upper

1. Set the bearing of upper and lower blade guide
within approx. 0.5mm of the blade. Make sure the
bearing and the back of the blade approx. 0.5mm.

2. Do not set the bearing too close. The friction
generates heat, which may have an adverse effect
on the bearings and the saw blade.

The band saw is recommended to be connected to dust
collect. There are two 4" dust ports (see Figure 14) to
attach with 4" steel clamping.

practical against the work. To adjust, loosen the hand
wheel (see Figure 15) at the side of housing and see
