IMPORTANT: Before plugging in to the mains supply, the blade guard MUST be adjusted so

that a minimum amount of blade is visible when cutting takes place. This is achieved as

follows:

Offer the workpiece up to the blade, then lower the Upper Blade Guard by slackening the

locking knob, (23, Fig.4) and tightening it again when the guard is as close to the workpiece

as possible without interference.

When satisfied, plug the machine into the mains supply and observing all safety precautions

previously stated, switch ON the machine by pushing the Green Knob on the control panel,

marked 'I'. Turn the white speed control knob to select the appropriate speed.

Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade, with a light pressure. Pushing too hard will cause

the blade to twist, resulting in a poor cut, or even cause the blade to stall or break. Thicker

or hardwood workpieces will need to be fed more slowly than thin, softer stock.

Keep your hands and fingers well clear of the blade when cutting.

Always use a push stick or piece of scrap to push the work when the cut line is close to the

edge of the workpiece, or when cutting small workpieces.

When cutting curves with the bandsaw, make relief cuts to allow the blade to follow the

cutting line. Do not try to cut to too small a radius as you can twist and break the blade.

If you want to back the blade out of a cut, stop the saw and wait for the blade to come to

a halt before backing the workpiece gently off the blade.

Always switch the bandsaw off after use. NEVER leave the bandsaw running unattended.

Maintenance

WARNING! Disconnect the bandsaw from the mains supply before

removing the front cover.

The bandsaw requires very little maintenance other than routine adjustment and cleaning,

and occasional inspection of the blade guides, blade and motor brushes.

Keep the saw clean, by clearing away sawdust and scrap frequently whilst working. When

you have finished using the saw, remove the front cover and clear sawdust from inside the

machine and around the motor vents using a vacuum cleaner or brush. Inspect the blade

guides occasionally and replace them if they become worn.

Motor Brush Replacement

WARNING! Disconnect the bandsaw from the mains supply before

checking or replacing motor brushes.

The motor brushes must be checked after every 100 hours of use.

1. Remove the front cover to gain access to the two screws securing the motor cover

(18, Fig.2).

2. Remove the motor cover (22 Fig. 3). The brush housings are each secured by two

screws. Remove the screws and withdraw the brushes from the holders. The brushes

must be replaced when they are worn down to 6mm in length.

3. Take care to avoid damaging the springs and wires when replacing the brushes.
