it for any other purpose.
F WARNING! The SM6582 bandsaw MUST NOT be used to cut non-metallic materials (including wood). To do so will invalidate your insurance
cover and warranty and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
& Do not wear loose or ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other jewellery. Tie up, or adequately cover, long hair.
& Do not start bandsaw until workpiece is secure and the blade has been lowered to just above the workpiece.
& Do not use the bandsaw with blade guard or pulley cover removed.
& Do not use damaged or deformed bandsaw blades.
Turn the saw off before raising the blade.
!
& Do not run the saw with the blade in the raised position - unless set-up for vertical cutting.
& Do not use the bandsaw in wet or damp locations.
& Do not use the bandsaw in areas where fumes from paint, solvents, or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard. Keep all flammable
materials (including wipers or cleaning rags) away from the saw and dispose of according to local regulations.
& Do not stand on the saw.
& Do not leave bandsaw running unattended. Turn power switch ‘Off’ and do not leave area until blade has come to a complete stop.
& Do not use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other intoxicating medication. Do not use the bandsaw if you are tired.
2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
2.1. Introduction
The SM6582 complies with requirements of the Machinery Safety Directive 98/37/EC and is fully CE approved. The bandsaw has a heavy
duty cast base and a swivel arm with a fully guarded blade for ho r i z o n t a l a n d v e r t i c a l c u t t i n g of light metals. A magnetic
no-load voltage switch prevents the motor from re-starting in the event of a power failure or a blade jam. An oil-bath gear box and
sealed-for-life drive bearings give fast and smooth operation. Fully adjustable precision blade guides provide accuracy and long blade life
and the blade feed rate is hydraulically controlled.
The saw may be bench mounted or fitted to the optional SM658/ST stand which is available from your Sealey agent.

3. ASSEMBLY AND SETUP

3.1. Assembly
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to Parts Diagram Items.
3.1.1. Remove the unit from packing and check that all items in the following list are present and undamaged:
Saw Assembly
Drive Belt
3.1.2. Screw the four pads (13) into the base (37).
3.1.3. Remove transit chain (51), retain for future use.
3.1.4. Fit the pulley cover (111) to the body frame (81) using two screws (1) and washers (3) provided.
3.1.5. Fit the drive belt (112) see para.3.3.
3.1.6. Adjust motor position to obtain correct belt tension by tightening
tension screw (46), then close pulley cover.
3.1.7. Slide stock stop rod (21) into base, tighten set screw (74) to retain and
fit stock stop (19). Lock in position with screw (20).
3.1.8. Adjust abutment screw (53) so that, with body frame down, blade
cutting edge is below surface of vice base but body frame is clear of
base. Tighten lock nut (80).
3.1.9. If bandsaw is to be used on a bench ensure that it is near enough
to the right hand end of the bench to give clearance under motor
to allow body frame (81) to be raised to the vertical position.
3.2. Blade selection
The charts at the right show the recommended setup for various
metals and cut lengths. Blades are available from your Sealey
dealer in four tooth pitches: 6, 10, 14 and 24 tpi (see parts list).
3.3. Adjusting blade speed
Adjust the blade speed to suit the metal to be cut. The recommended
pulley selections are shown in the chart to the right.
3.3.1. Disconnect saw from power supply and open the pulley cover (111).
3.3.2. Loosen tension screw (46) on the motor plate to slacken the belt.
3.3.3. Move the belt to the required pulley grooves (see chart).
3.3.4. Tension belt by tightening screw (46) and close the pulley cover.
3.4. Feed rate
3.4.1. Feed rate is controlled by the valve on the hydraulic cylinder (125).
Turning the valve knob clockwise reduces the feed rate and
turning it anticlockwise increases the feed rate.
3.4.2. Turning the valve lever at right angles to the body stops oil flow and will lock the body frame in any position. DO NOT attempt
to move the body frame when this valve is closed.
3.4.3. Make small adjustments during cutting to achieve the best cut.
