Functioning - Fox F28-191A Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING!
Before performing any adjustment or maintenance task and before changing the blade you must
switch off the machine, disconnect it from the power supply and wait for the saw blade to stop.
CAUTION
Connect the bandsaw to the electrical energy and start it only after checking that the machine is
fastened, that the workbench is assembled and adjusted, that saw blade tensioning is correct and that all
safety and protection devices are perfectly efficient.
I. ON / OFF switch FIG.7

Start = push the green button (25).

Stop = push the red button (26).
In case of an interruption of the electrical energy, a "minimum voltage" relay inside the switch stops the machine.
This prevents from the start of the machine when the electrical energy recovers. You must press the green button
to re-start the saw that has stopped.
II. Saw blade's tension FIG.8
WARNING!
A too high tension can break the saw blade. If the tension is too low, the saw blade can slip from
the driving wheel and stop.
Saw blade's tension must be adjusted according to the different width of the saw blades in order to obtain a correct
alignment, efficiency and suitable life's length.

Lift the upper blade guide completely.

To check blade's tension, push sideways the saw blade, in the middle between the workbench and the upper
blade guide: the saw blade must bend on its side from 1 to a maximum of 2 mm.

If necessary, adjust saw blade's tension:

turn the handle 28 clockwise to increase the tension;

turn the handle 28 anti-clockwise to reduce the tension.
III. Knob for the adjustment of the blade's position FIG.9
To work correctly the saw blade must be centred on flywheel rubber coatings. If it is not aligned you must modify
upper flywheel's inclination. By using the knob ( 29 ) you can modify the inclination of the flywheel and thus:

Turn the knob clockwise to move the blade backwards.

Turn the knob anti-clockwise to move the blade forwards.
To lock upper flywheel's inclination, tighten the plastic wing screw located under the adjustment knob.
