DUST COLLECTION: All woodworking machines require effective dust extraction to ensure
quality work and longevity of the machine itself. Failure to connect your machine to a
suitable dust collector may affect your warranty. The collector required for your machine
will depend on several factors including the type of machine and its dust port connection,
distance between collector and machine, type & frequency of use and the material being
worked. We recommend a dust collector that will provide you a minimum airflow of 500-CFM
when measured at the machine connection.

ASSEMBLY
A. TABLE ASSEMBLY
1. With the machine safely placed on a at,
stable surface such as a workbench, tilt
the trunnion to 30˚ and lock it in place.
Fig. A1
2. Slide the table into approximate position
ensuring the blade passes through the
slot, with the table opening facing to the
front of the machine.
Fig. A2
3. Insert the table mounting bolts and
washers into the matching threaded
holes in the table, from underneath. The
table is tilted to provide easier access
to all bolt holes. Finger tighten all bolts,
leaving them just loose enough to adjust
the table.
Fig. A3
4. Using a ruler or straight edge, align the
table slot to be parallel with the blade by
slightly rotating the loose table.

BS-B200H ASSEMBLY
5. Once you are happy with the alignment,
go ahead and tighten all the table bolts
with the spanner provided. You can then
adjust the tilt of the table back to 0˚.
Fig. A5
6. The blade needs to run through the
middle of the table insert. If required,
you can adjust this by loosening the
three trunnion mounting bolts on the
back of the machine two turns each,
sliding the assembly into position and
re-tightening.
Fig. A6
7. The next step is to assemble the fence.
Screw the fence rail wing nuts (x4) into
the threaded holes at the front edge of
the table. Leave approximately 5 mm
unthreaded on each bolt.
Fig. A7
8. Slide the fence rail into position, in the
gap you left on the wing nuts and nger
tighten, ensuring the rail is pressed
against the front of the table.

BS-B200H
9. Place the fence onto the rail to the left of
the blade. The fence needs to be parallel
to the table slot/mitre track. If necessary,
this can be adjusted via two Allen bolts,
one through the hole in the top face of
the fence; the other under the black
plastic end cap which can be popped
o for access. Simply loosen, adjust the
fence angle slightly as required and
re-lock.
Fig. A9
10. Move the fence and set the hairline
magnier to “0” on the left of the blade,
locking the fence in this position.
Fig.10
11. Loosen and slide the rail slightly as
required, so the face of the fence is ush
with the set of the teeth on the blade,
without pushing on the blade itself.
Fig. A11
12. If you have moved the fence rail as far
as its adjustment will go, but the fence
does not reach the blade on the “0”
setting, you can adjust the position of
the rail scale with a Philips screwdriver.
Undo the small bolt on the right side of
the fence rail scale a few turns, slide the
scale until you are able to zero the fence
to the blade and re-tighten.

13. Check the table is set at 90˚ (square)
to the blade, using a quality square. If
necessary adjust the tilt on the trunnion
and lock in place.
Fig. A13
14. Ensure your “pointer” on the trunnion
scale is accurately pointing to “0” in
this position. Adjust with a Philips head
screwdriver if required.
Fig. A14
15. The bandsaw is tted with an adjustable
stop, allowing you to easily return the
table to 90˚ when required. With the
table currently locked at exactly 90˚,
loosen the nuts on the bolt below the
table and turn the screw until the head
is resting against the underside of the
table. Now lock this into position with
the nut.
Fig. A15
*NB: this “zero stop” setting will prevent
you from tilting the table in the opposite
direction (-), unless you wind it out of
the way.
16. Finally, the bandsaw includes some
bench mounting brackets and bolts.
If desired, you can now attach the
brackets to the machine with the bolts
provided, in the holes at the base of
the machine. You can then screw these
brackets down to your bench. This
provides the ultimate in stability for your
machine, at the expense of being able to
move it out of the way easily.

B. SETTING UP THE BANDSAW
1. Using the Allen key provided, unlock
the top door by rotating a quarter turn
anti-clockwise. This machine requires
a “tool” (Allen key) to open the door to
meet CE and school/business safety
specication requirements.
Fig. B1
2. Turn the knob on the bottom door in an
anti-clockwise direction to unthread
the retaining bolt. Note that this bolt is
long! This long thread holds the door
assembly closed and engages the
micro-switch on the door.
Fig. B2
3. Open the door and place a block in front
of it to hold it open. This will allow you to
readily access the adjustments required
to properly setup your bandsaw.
4. Tension and track the blade on the upper
wheel. To do so without impediment,
loosen the blade guides so they are well
clear of the blade for now. Using the
Allen key provided, go ahead and loosen
all guide and thrust bearings, moving
them away from the blade.

BS-B200H SETUP
5. Adjust the blade tension by turning the
knob located on the top of the bandsaw.
Clockwise rotation will increase tension,
anti-clockwise will reduce tension.
Fig. B5
6. Correct tension is applied when a
deection of approximately 5 mm is
achieved with moderate nger pressure,
in the centre of the blade (hence the
guides being out of the way). Note that
this is an approximate setting only.
Correct tension will vary by blade size
and type, spring tension wear and other
factors.
Fig. B6
7. Once you have the tension set, the
tracking will need adjustment. Loosen
the tracking lock knob on the back of
the machine.
Fig. B7
8. Hand-rotate the upper wheel very slowly.
The blade will either move towards the
back of the wheel or the front. Care is
required here as the blade can run right
o the wheel if considerable adjustment
in the blade tension was required. If
this occurs, you will need to loosen
the upper wheel, place the blade back
on the upper and lower wheels and
go through the blade tension process
again.

SETUP
9. To adjust the blade tracking, turn
the tracking knob on the rear of the
machine. Clockwise will move the blade
towards the front of the tyre, anti-
clockwise towards the back.
Fig. B9
10. The aim is to have the blade tracking on
the crown of the tyre, that is the middle
of the wheel. Once achieved, tighten the
blade tracking lock knob again.
Fig. B10
11. The European style blade guides can
now be set. Below the table, adjust
the side guides so they are behind the
set of the teeth, where they will guide
the at of the blade. Bring them in to
the blade until they just barely miss. A
rule-of-thumb here is a “piece of paper”
thickness away from the blade. Once in
position, lock these in place.
Fig. B11
12. The thrust guide is the one which sits
behind the blade to assist in pushing the
blade backward during cutting. Again,
this needs to be positioned a fraction
behind the blade, eectively so it is not
touching when the machine is turned on
alone, but is engaged when in use.
