Page 8: Assembly
Assembly IMPORTANT! This machine cannot be handled without the use of lifting tools. Take all necessary precautions when manoeuvring. For ease of packing and transportation, the bandsaw comes partly assembled. It is therefore necessary to complete the assembly as follows. Unpack and lay out all the items and identify each one by referring to the Parts List and Fig. - Page 9 before mounting the pulley cover. Having done so, lower the Pulley Cover over the shafts, ensuring the elongated hole is over the motor shaft. Replace the screw removed earlier through the pulley cover, into its hole in the circular plate. (This screw now locates and secures the pulley cover at the gearbox shaft).
- Page 10 with the smallest diameter inwards, and the gearbox pulley with the smallest diameter outwards (as illustrated in the Parts Diagram). Locate the gearbox pulley on to its shaft, ensuring the grub screw lines up with the flat on the shaft. Tighten the grub screw fully. Fit the motor pulley to its shaft so that it lines up with the gearbox pulley.

Page 12: Blade Guide Assembly Adjustment
2. BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT The Metal Cutting Bandsaw is equipped with two adjustable blade guide assemblies, so that the blade guides may be individually adjusted to accommodate various widths of workpieces. To effect the most accurate cut and prolong the life of the blade, the blade guide assemblies should be adjusted to just clear the piece to be cut without impeding the lowering arm. -
Page 13: Changing Blade Speed
5. CHANGING SPEED When using your Bandsaw always change the blade speed to best suit the material being cut. The material cutting chart in shown below. With the power disconnected, loosen the Drive Belt Adjuster Bolt (item P) in order to slacken the drive belt, then open the pulley cover and change the position of the belt to gain the desired speed. -

4. Carefully feed the new blade between the blade guide bearings, ensuring the teeth are pointing DOWNWARDS, and then over the top pulley. Hold in position with one hand whilst stretching the blade downwards, and over the bottom pulley. Hold in place whilst applying slight tension by screwing the blade tension adjuster knob clockwise. -
Page 15: Adjusting Blade Angle
8. ADJUSTING BLADE ANGLE When horizontal cutting, the blade must be at right angles (or vertical) to the bed. To achieve this: Loosen the screw (A, Fig.4). Adjust the blade guide (B, Fig.4) to make the blade vertical to the bed. Place can engineers square on the bed to check the blade Is vertical, It not, repeat the process. -
Page 16: Methods Of Operation
Method Of Operation HORIZONTAL CUTTING Raise the arm to the vertical position. Open the vice to accept the piece to be cut by rotating the wheel at the end of the base anticlockwise. Place the workpiece on the saw bed. If the piece Is long it should be supported. Clamp the workpiece securely in the vice by turning the hand wheel clockwise. -
