WARNING: Before starting check ifany part of your bandsaw
is
missing, malfuctioning, has been damaged
or
broken
...
such as
the motor switch, or other operation control, a safety device
or
the
power cord, turn the bandsaw off and unplug it until the particular
part
is
properly repaired
or
repl~ced.
The saw blade cuts on a continuous downstroke.
To
avoid injury
when hands are unavoidably near to the saw blade, they should
be placed on either side of the blade, not in line with it. Use a
push stick whenever possible when working
in
close proximity
to
the saw blade.
Start the bandsaw by turning the lock switch on and wait for the
bandsaw to come to full speed before starting to cut. Never start
the bandsaw with the workpiece
in
contact with the saw blade.
Slowly feed the workpiece towards the saw blade, putting only light
pressure on it. With both hands, firmly hold the workpiece down
on
the table, and feed it towards the saw blade slowly.
WARNING:
To
avoid injury due to unexpected starting, before
cleaning
or
·carrying out maintenance work, switch off and
discon~
nect the bandsaw from the power source.
Never use water or other liquids to clean the bandsaw. Use a dry
brush.
For best results the saw blade must be sharp. Select the right saw
blade for the job, depending on the thickness of the wood the cut
to
be made. The thinner and harder the wood, the finer the teeth of
the saw blade. Use a fine tooth blade for cutting sharp curves.
The machine
is
especially suited for cutting curves, but will also
make straight cuts.
Do
not attempt to turn the workpiece without
pushing it,
as
this may cause the workpiece to get stuck, or the
saw blade
to
bend.
The rip fence is to enable safe
and
accurate straight cuts
of
the
workpiece, usually in the same direction as the grain
of
the timber.
The tillable table
is
used for bevel cuts.
WARNING: When sawing with the rip fence and a tilted table, the
rip
fence must be installed on that side of the table which
is
tilted
downward.
Regular maintenance
of
the bandsaw will prevent unnecessary
problems.
a.
Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
b.
Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate
operation
of
all moving parts and prevent excessive wear.
c.
Keep the ventilation slots
of
the motor clean to prevent it from
overheating.
d.
Keep the inside (near the saw blade, etc.) clean
to
prevent
accumulation of dust. Use dust collection lf possible.
e.
To
prolong the life
of
the saw blade, when the bandsaw
is
not
in
use for extended periods, release the saw blade tension. Before
reusing the bandsaw ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and
tracking
is
checked.
