WARNING: Before starting check if any par[ 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 replaced.
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 tine 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 reed 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.
For best results the saw blade must be sharp. Select the right saw
blade for [he job, depending on the thickness at 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.
lhe 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 sate and accurate straight cuts of _.he
workpiece, usually in the same direction as the grain of the timber.
The tiltable 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.
WARNING: To avoid injury due [o unexpected starting, be[ore
cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, switch off and discon-
nect [he bandsaw from the power source.
Never use water or other liquids to clean the bandsaw. Use a dry
brush.
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 if 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 thaL the blade is re-tensioned and
tracking is checked.
As received from the factory, your bandsaw is ready to run at 120 volt operation, Itcan be switched to 240V according to below electrical
schematic.
WARNING: This machine must be grounded. To avoid electrocution or fire, any repairs to electrical system should be done only by a
ualified electrician, using genuine replacement parts.
