Setting the Table Square with the Sawblade
The saw table can be tilted up to 45°. To tilt ,
loosen the wing nut of the table trunnion.
Loosen the wing nut on the turnnion and adjust the
table at 90°. with the blade.
Check the table with a square to make sure the table
is 90°. with the blade. If an adjustment is necessary,
loosen the screw and adjust the pointer to 0°.
To ensure sufficient upright stability of the machine it
should be bolted to floor, bench or table, or mounted
on the Workstand BAS, available as optional
accessory. For this purpose 4 - Φ6.5 mm holes are
provided in the machine’s base plate.
Dust Collection
The machine is fitted with a dust extracton port of 60mm diameter.
2.0 Band Saw Settings
2.1 Changing and Setting the Saw Blade
This band saw is factory-equipped with a general
purpose wood cutting blade, the blade set. To change
the blade, remove the wing nut and screw from the table.
Then slacken the blade tension by turning the hand
wheel on top of the upper wheel housing.
Fit new blade and tension lightly. The blade
should run in the center of the rubber lined band
saw wheels or else it may jump of. To check
tracking, turn upper wheel by hand. If required,
adjust tracking with the knurled handle at the rear
of the upper wheel housing.
It is recommended that when in use, the machine is connected to a suitable dust extractor.

2.2 Blade Guiding
The saw blades guide
of this band saw ensure
an exact guiding of the
blade for clean cuts.
When using narrow
blades ensure that the
lower blade guide
positively supports the
blade from both sides
and the rear. Set the
bearings of the upper blade guide to within approx. 0.5 mm of the blade, and the large thrust bearing against the back of the
blade, just clear of it. Do not set the bearing too close, as the friction generates heat, which may have an adverse effect on the
bearings and the saw blade as well.
2.3 Setting the Cutting Height
The upper blade guide should always be set as
close as practical against the work. To adjust,
loosen the wing nut at the side of the upper
wheel housing, and set the blade guide to the
required height. Tighten wing nut after setting.
2.4 Saw Table Tilt
For bevel cuts the saw table tilts steplessly through
45°。To tilt, loosen the wing nut on the table
trunnions, set table to the required angle and tighten
the wing nut again.
It is recommended to verify the correct angle setting
by making trial cuts in scrap wood.

suitable push block to prevent kickback.
7.Exchange the standard table insert against the one with
the wide slot before tilting the table.
8.To keep health risk to a minimum it is recommended to
always connect this band saw to a dust collector having
an air flow rate of at least 20m/s.
The most common hazards associated with the operation ofband saws ate the following:
-a hazard by the running saw blade, e.g. contact with the teeth of the blade.
-Flinging of cutoffs or knots.
-Work-piece kickback
The principal hazard areas of a band saw are:
-the work area
-the area around a running machine
-the kickback area
despite the use of the specific safety devices and compliance with all relevant regulations for the prevention of
accidents, when operating a band saw the followingresidual risks remain:
-hearing damage by excessivenoise
-danger of accidents in the unprotected cuttingarea of the running saw blade
-danger of injury when changing blades (dangerof cuts by the sharp teeth)
-endangering by flung about workpieces or parts
-squashing of fingers
-danger of injury by kickback of workpieces
-health risk caused by the dustemission, especially from oak and beechsaw dust.
