- Immediately after receiving a Band Saw BOIA Clasica, the machine must be inspected before
unpackaging it to see if there are any damages from shipping. After inspection, the machine can
be placed in a safe area in order to be operated.
- The band saw must be installed in a place with a flat surface in order to obtain the best stability
and performance during the operation.
- Before switching on the band saw, it must be connected to a power supply.
- Blade Installation: Open the upper and lower door of the band saw on the right side and loosen
the handle that tightens the previous blade. Slide the sliding plate all the way to left, loosen the
aluminum guide and lift it up. Next place the blade on the wheels and inside the wheel/blade
cleaners carefully. Finally, tighten the blade by turning the handle clockwise until it can freely
rotate around the wheels.
- Aluminum Guide Installation: Place the new aluminum guide in its position. Rotate manually
the upper wheel downward so the blade can fit inside the guide itself and then tighten it.
- The band saw blade must be calibrated before turning it on. Turn the handle clockwise in order to
tighten the blade.
- Before turning on the band saw make sure it is balanced and stable on its surface. The four band
saw legs allow themselves to be adjusted in order to obtain the best balance of the weight with
respect to the surface.
- Make sure that the motor and the power source have the same voltage, cycle, phase, and current.
For your best convenience contact your electrical technician.

3.Operation
3.1. Functioning and Operation Process
CORPORACIÓN BOIA DOMENICO C.A.

We strongly recommend that you spend some time with the machine so you get to know it better.
After reading the instructions manual carefully, the operator will be able to obtain the best results and
performance of the band saw. All the required meat cuts will be obtained effectively by using the band
saw in a proper and safe manner.
Follow the next steps before starting the operation process:
- Doors and components must be closed and tight.
- The band saw must be connected to the power source.
- The operator must stand on the right side of the band saw.
- Always keep your hands away from the blade: remember that the sliding plate slides from right to
left.
- Regulate the adjustable arm in order to define the thickness of the cut that is required. Place the
product side desired to cut next to it.
- Never place your hand in the blade direction in order to push the product that must be cut. Slide
the sliding plate.
- Always turn off the band saw after using it.
- If the band saw stops operating or reduces the velocity, then the guides are probably filled with
pieces of the product that are being cut. First disconnect the band saw from the power source,
loosen the upper and lower guides, remove the blade carefully and clean the guides. Finally,
replace the blade and tighten the guides back.
- Adjustable Arm: When cuts of the same thickness are required, adjust the position of the
adjustable arm based on the thickness required by tightening the handle on its side. If there is no
required thickness for the cut, keep the adjustable arm removed.
- Blade Protector with support, Upper Guide, and Bearing: this set of components is used in
order to maintain the blade in the right position and in order to maintain its rigidity. This system
is able to adjust itself depending on the size of the product required to cut. In order to adjust the
system loosen the front handle and adjust the protector depending on the height required. This set
of components can never be removed because it increases the life of the blade and protects the
operator.

3.2. Cleaning
CORPORACIÓN BOIA DOMENICO C.A.
11
In order to clean the band saw, disconnect it from the power source.
The parts that are in contact with the band saw must be cleaned correctly. In order to remove
the main parts of the band saw read the following steps:
1. Loosen the aluminum guide positioned in between the sliding plate and the table. Loosen the
tension of the blade by turning the handle counterclockwise, and then remove the blade carefully.
Clean the blade every day with warm water.
2. Remove the handle, and then remove the upper wheel. Clean the upper wheel only with a wet
cloth (Do not use warm water).
3. After cleaning the guides and placing the aluminum guide back, place the blade on the wheels,
inside the upper and lower guides, and inside the wheel/blade cleaners carefully. Finally, tighten
the blade by turning the handle clockwise.
