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-Ф6.5 mm holes are
provided in the machine's base plate.
Dust Collection
If this band saw is operated indoors it is recommended to have it connected to a dust collector. The suction
connector, supplied with the machine, has to be fitted to the dust ejection port of the saw for this purpose. The
diameter of the suction connector is 60 mm.
Caution! Wood dust and chips, together with an ignition source and the oxygen in the ambient air, can cause
fires and explosions, injuries and allergies.
- Workmen working in operations processing oak or beech timber where found to develop more often cancer
of the mucous membrane of the nose (adenocarciome of the inner nose) then other workers.
- Experience shows that skin contact with oak or beech dust does not cause cancer
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.
