Mounting of the Machine
Locate the 2 No. M8 bolts etc., put to hand.
NOTE. Before lifting the bandsaw ensure that the transportation chain is secured. This will
preclude the possibility of the head moving whilst you lift it into place. (See fig 9c)
Lift the bandsaw onto the stand.
!
WARNING! The machine is heavy; you may require assistance.

Stand
Place the four feet approximately evenly about the corners, this should leave the two fixing holes
(approximately midway in the underside of the front and rear of the machine base) above the two
elongated slots in the front and rear rails of the stand. Introduce the M8 bolts (with washers
under the heads) through the slots, through the base and secure with washers and nuts. Tighten
firmly. Locate and identify the extension table and its fixings. Bolt to the side of the base
alongside the vice.
Fitting the Pulleys, the drive belt and the drive belt cover
Locate and identify the pulleys the drive belt and the drive belt cover. Place the drive belt cover
over the two spindles, and secure (on the inside) using the M4 countersunk screw and washer
into the gearbox mandrel housing, and the external tab with the M6 caphead bolt and washer to
the threaded insert on the end of the motor plate pivot. Set the cover equidistant about the shafts
and tighten.
Identify the larger of the two pulleys, this fits (the large flange down) on the transition gearbox
shaft. Make sure the key is fitted in the keyway and push the pulley onto the shaft. Secure the
pulley in position using the caphead grubscrew which is aligned with the keyway, and located in
the middle groove. Fit the smaller pulley to the motor shaft, inverted (large flange up). Using a
straight edge (steel rule?) align the top surfaces of the pulleys and secure the pulley with the
similar grubscrew in the middle groove. Locate the belt tensioner, (See fig 8a) undo the lock nut
and unscrew the 'push' bolt to allow the motor to tilt forward. Fit the belt, make sure it is in
aligned grooves, tighten the belt by screwing in the 'push' screw; when the belt is tight, nip the
locking nut. Close the pulley cover and secure with the bolt.

There are no hard and fast rules for using the metal cutting bandsaw. As a general guide the
harder the material, the slower the blade speed and the feed rate, conversely for softer material.
However, some materials cut better with a fast saw speed and a slow feed rate, likewise some
materials will require an cutting compound and others prefer it 'dry'. I'm afraid you will need to
determine the best results empirically.
However, some hard and fast rules,
1. Check the bandsaw switches Off at the end of the cut.
2. Ensure the work is held securely in the vice.
3. Do not attempt to cut material that is not securely fastened in the vice.
4. Do not start the bandsaw if the blade is in contact with the workpiece.
5. Ensure the blade is in good condition.
6. Ensure the correct speed and feed rate are selected.
7. Allow the machine to run up to full speed before attempting to cut.
8. Lower the blade slowly under hand control until it is in contact with the workpiece.
9. Ensure the offcut can fall free after being cut off, and will not jam against the blade.
10. If the material is long and heavy, support on either side of the saw.
11. Use cutting compounds if required.
12. Do not wear gloves whilst actually operating the saw.
13. Do not attempt to pick up small offcuts immediately after they have been sawn (HOT).
14. If you are working in close proximity to the saw for long periods, wear ear defenders.
Changing the feed rate spring tensioner
Note- You may need a second person to assist you.
Remove the plastic "keeper" from the end of the spring tensioner, lift the saw as high as possible
to remove any tension on the spring. Slide the spring along the pivot axle and turn so that the
"captured" end of the spring will fit in the required hole - lower the saw and refit the plastic
keeper over the end of the spring. (See figs 6a,6b)
