GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

front of the saw table
Assembly of stand:
The legs are constructed by assembling each half of the
structure and then joining them together.
Note: Nuts & Bolts should only be finger tight at this stage.
1. Lay two legs on the ground, parallel to each other. Place
one long upper support in between the legs and align the
bolt holes.
2. The long upper support should have its lip on the high
side (facing up). Before bolting the long upper support,
ensure that it sits inside of the legs.
3. Once aligned, insert the bolts from the outside and
tighten with the washer, spring washer and nut on the
inside (only hand tight at this initial stage).
4. Assemble the long side support halfway down the legs
where the bolt holes align. The long side support sits
inside of the legs with the lip facing up.
5. At this stage your frame should look like this.
Note: The band saw is heavy and it is recommend that two people are used in lifting
or moving the bandsaw.

10
STAND ASSEMBLY
6. Assemble one of the short upper support and short lower
support pieces, ensuring it sits inside of both the leg &
long supports.
7. Once the nuts are hand tight, lift the frame up with only
the legs contacting the floor. One half of the frame is now
complete.
8. Repeat the exact process for the other side, which should
leave you with 2 identical halves. These halves can now
be joined together to complete the frame.
9. Align the holes of each opposing member. If the holes are
misaligned and cannot be aligned by hand, use of a soft
hammer to ‘tap’ the members together is recommended.
Bolts and nuts can be inserted & tightened with hand
force only.
10. Then mount the stabilising legs and bar.
11. Once all of the members are joined together and all
fasteners are assembled, use a spanner to tension the
bolts.

OPERATION

19
KNOW YOUR PRODUCT
Blade Selection
Blade supplied with the bandsaw is designed for general purpose use.
• Use a narrow blade to cut tighter radii than you can with a wider blade.
• Wide blades are used to saw straight cuts. This is particularly important in cutting wood
because the blade has a tendency to follow the grain of the wood and thereby deviate
easily from the cutting line.
• Finely toothed blades provided smoother cuts but are slower than coarse blades.
OPERATION
Adjusting the cutting speed
The bandsaw can be operated at two blade speeds.
1. Open the lower housing door.
2. Remove the tension from the drive belt by turning the
drive belt tensioning crank, located on the right side of the
bandsaw, in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Put the drive belt on the required pulley of the driving
wheel and the corresponding motor pulley.
4. Tension the drive belt by turning the belt tension hand
wheel in a clockwise direction.
5. Close the lower housing door.
Push Stick
When handling narrower work pieces, it is essential to use a
push stick. Always keep the push stick close at hand at the
hook provided.
WARNING! The drive belt must run either on both front or both rear pulleys.
Never have the belt run diagonally.
!
!WARNING! Take care that the selection of saw band
and speed depends on the material to be cut.

20
OPERATION
Sawing
• Always guide the workpiece with both hands, holding flat on
the table in order to prevent the blade from jamming.
• Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed that enables the
blade to cut through the material without difficult and
without blocking.
• Always use the Rip fence on all cuts for which they are
intended.
• Always aim at making a complete cut in one pass rather
then a stop-and-go operation requiring the workpiece to be
withdrawn.
• Curve cuts which are too tight for the blade to cut correctly,
it can help to make a series of close-lying cuts right angles to
the curve line.
• Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times, if possible, prevent
foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust
particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the tool to
overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist soft
cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by
the repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
MAINTENANCE
!WARNING! To prevent serious injury from accidental operation:
Turn the Power Switch of the bandsaw to its position and unplug the
bandsaw from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance,
or cleaning procedures.
