STAND ASSEMBLY
4.1.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Numbered brackets refer to Fig 1 and Parts Diagram.
4.1.1.
Assemble the floor stand as described below using the nuts
and bolts provided (refer to Fig 1).
4.1.2.
Make one end frame by assembling two legs (1) to short
upper cross member (4) using four bolts (8), four washers (7),
four split washers (6) and four nuts (5). Attach lower short
cross member (3) to the inside of the legs using two bolts (8).
4.1.3.
Create a second end frame using the same set of components.
Join the two end frames together using two long upper cross
members (9) using two bolts (8) at each end of each cross
member. The ends of the long cross members should pass under the
ends of short cross members (4).
4.1.4.
Attach the two lower long cross members (2) to the inside of the
frame using one bolt at the end of each.
4.1.5.
The anti-vibration mountings (14) can either be fitted to the base
of the saw or to the stand. For bench mounting and when the
stand is to be secured to the floor, fit the mountings to the saw base.
Where the stand is to be portable, fit the mountings to the bottom of
the legs.
4.1.6.
Place the saw onto the stand and retain it at either end with bolt
(10), washer (11) and nut (12).
4.1.7.
Remove transit chain (15), retain for future use.
4.1.8.
Slide fence (104) into vice base (103) and tighten set screw in front face of vice to retain.
4.1.9.
When the saw arm is in the down position the cutting edge of the blade should be just below the main surface of the vice in order for the
blade to cut all the way through the workpiece. If this is not the case, loosen the lock nut (37) and adjust the stop bolt so that the
cutting edge of the blade is 2 to 3mm below the vice surface. Re-tighten locknut (37).
4.1.10.
Adjust switch cut-off screw (17) to ensure that 'Off' switch is actuated when, or just before, the body frame contacts the abutment
screw. Tighten nut.
4.2.
BLADE SELECTION
The chart at the right shows the recommended setup for various
metals and cut lengths. Blades are available from your Sealey
stockist in four tpi: 6, 10, 14 and 24 tpi (see parts list [63]).
4.3.
ADJUSTING BLADE SPEED
Adjust the blade speed to suit the metal to be cut. The recommended
pulley selections are shown in fig.2. Disconnect saw from power
supply and open the pulley cover (52).
4.3.1.
Loosen motor securing nuts on the motor plate to slacken the belt.
4.3.2.
Move the belt to the required pulley grooves (see chart).
Tension belt and tighten nuts, close and secure the pulley cover using screw (30) and washer.

OPERATION
WARNING! Before operating the bandsaw ensure that you
‰
read, understand and apply the safety instructions
In Section 1.
NOTE: Before operating the machine certain checks and
adjustments will need to be carried out. It is very
important that these instructions are followed carefully in
order that the machine is set up safely and correctly.
WARNING! The machine is designed for the cutting of light
‰
metal in engineering workshops, garages, metal
fabricators, etc. The SM65.V3 must not be used to cut any
other materials (including wood). To do so will
invalidate your insurance cover and your warranty and may
cause damage and/or personal injury.
NOTE: The harder the material being cut, the slower the
cutting speed should be. The use of a cutting oil is
recommended with the higher blade speeds.
NOTE: While operating the saw, keep hands and clothing
away from any moving parts. Ensure safe, quick and easy access to the ON/OFF switch in the event of jam / failure etc.
5.1.
HORIZONTAL CUTTING
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SUPPLY.
‰
5.1.1.
Adjust the blade speed to suit the workpiece (see section 4.3).
5.1.2.
Raise the saw arm as far as possible.
5.1.3.
Adjust the stock stop rod (104) to the desired length.
5.1.4.
Raise the handle of quick grip vice (103) to unlock and slide back vice jaw. Insert workpiece against fixed jaw. Slide vice jaw up to
workpiece and firmly press down vice handle to clamp it securely.
5.1.5.
If an angled cut is required slacken lever nut. Rotate bevel holder (31) and saw arm to angle required and tighten lever nut.
5.1.6.
Adjust the two blade guides, by slackening the knob (99) and the screw (43), so that they are close to the workpiece but will not foul it.
Gently lower the arm until the blade is just above the workpiece. Connect the saw to the power supply and start the saw.
